“Oh would some power the giftie gie us, To see ourselves as others see us.”

“To see ourselves as others see us is a most salutary gift. Hardly less important is the capacity to see others as they see themselves.”

“If we could truly see ourselves the way others see us we'd disappear on the spot.”

“There is a powerful craving in most of us to see ourselves as instruments in the hands of others and thus free ourselves from the responsibility for acts which are prompted by our own questionable inclinations and impulses.”

“Oh, God of Dust and Rainbows,
Help us to see
That without the dust the rainbow
Would not be.”

“When we really see the others, not only ourselves, we start to see ourselves in others”

“We all have things that come back to haunt us. Some of us just see them more clearly than others.”

“The North American world blinds us with its energy; we cannot see ourselves, we must see you.”

“All of us invent ourselves. Some of us just have more imagination than others.”

“For too long we have kept ourselves in our ethnic boxes and continue to see ourselves as either indigenous Fijians, Indo-Fijians, Europeans, part-Europeans, Chinese, Pacific Islanders, or others. For as long as that wall remains we will continue to view one another with suspicion and distrust. This is the fear that is fueled by political manouvering to keep us divided while for some to remain in power.”
