In Your Eyes
Song lyrics, So (1986)
“It is not the light which is defective, it is an eye to see it.”
Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 266.
Context: My faith is, that there is a greater amount of revelation given to guide each man by the principles laid down in the Bible, by conscience, and by providence, than most men are aware of. It is not the light which is defective, it is an eye to see it.
“Your eyes see what your brain expects to see…”
