“Whatever we look at, and however we look at it, we see only through our own eyes.”

“The world is a mirror into which we look, and see our own image.”

“It is impossible to exercise free will as long as we are operating from within the system. Free will requires consciousness, and our pervasive and deep-seated patterns of thought are unconscious; they are outside of our awareness and therefore outside of our control. While we remain in the system, we see the world through the eyes of carnism. And as long as we look through eyes other than our own, we will be living in accordance with a truth that is not of our own choosing. We must step outside the system to find our lost empathy and make choices that reflect what we truly feel and believe, rather than what we've been taught to feel and believe.”

“We didn't rally them there. We never went looking for trouble. We only rallied on our own street, but we always won there.”

“Ah, my friends, we must look out and around to see what God is like. It is when we persist in turning our eyes inward, and prying curiously over our own imperfections, that we learn to make God after our own image, and fancy that our own darkness and hardness of heart are the patterns of His light and love.”

“Perhaps the most "spiritual" thing any of us can do is simply to look through our own eyes, see with eyes of wholeness, and act with integrity and kindness.”

“We must look at the lens through we see the world, as well as the world we see, and that the lens itself shapes how we interpret the world.”

“To prejudge other men's notions before we have looked into them is not to show their darkness but to put out our own eyes.”

“We have eyes, and we're looking at stuff all the time, all day long. And I just think that whatever our eyes touch should be beautiful, tasteful, appealing, and important.”

“We usually see only the things we are looking for — so much so that we sometimes see them where they are not.”
