To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature. Most persons do not see the sun. At least they have a very superficial seeing. The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and heart of the child.
The essential things in life are seen, not with the eyes but with the heart.
They know not how many things are signified by the words stealing, sowing, buying, keeping quiet, seeing what ought to be done; for this is not effected by the eyes, but by another kind of vision.
To me, the thing love and cinema have in common is that they are about seeing. The greatest act of love you can give to anyone is to see them exactly as they are. That's the greatest act of love because you wash away imperfections.
Nobody ever really sees me the way I am, underneath everything. But she did. She does.
It is the soul that sees; the outward eyes Present the object, but the Mind descries. We see nothing till we truly understand it.
There is a real world, beyond the glass, for children who look, for those whose parents encourage them to truly see.
In truth we gaze but do not see, and hearken but do not hear; we eat and drink but do not taste. And there lies the difference between Jesus of Nazareth and ourselves. His senses were all continually made new, and the world to Him was always a new world.
