Bias and impartiality is in the eye of the beholder.

- Lord Barnett

I see every thing I paint in this world, but everybody does not see alike. To the eyes of a miser a guinea is more beautiful than the sun, and a bag worn with the use of money has more beautiful proportions than a vine filled with grapes.

- William Blake

When you're in the muck you can only see muck. If you somehow manage to float above it, you still see the muck but you see it from a different perspective. And you see other things too. That's the consolation of philosophy.

- David Cronenberg

The seeing of objects involves many sources of information beyond those meeting the eye when we look at an object. It generally involves knowledge of the object derived from previous experience, and this experience is not limited to vision but may include the other senses: touch, taste, smell, hearing, and perhaps also temperature or pain.

- R L Gregory

Nobody, I think, ought to read poetry, or look at pictures or statues, who cannot find a great deal more in them than the poet or artist has actually expressed. Their highest merit is suggestiveness.

- Nathaniel Hawthorne

Distance has the same effect on the mind as on the eye.

- Samuel Johnson

It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves.

- Carl Jung

If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.

- Abraham H Maslow

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead, I lift my eyes and all is born again.

- Sylvia Plath

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.

- Arthur Schopenhauer

A little grit in the eye destroyeth the sight of the very heavens, and a little malice or envy a world of joys. One wry principle in the mind is of infinite consequence.

- Thomas Traherne

The difference between a mountain and a molehill is your PERSPECTIVE.

- Al Neuharth

There is today, in a time when old beliefs are withering, a kind of philosophical hunger, a need to know who we are and how we got here. It is an on-going search, often unconscious, for a cosmic PERSPECTIVE for humanity.

- Carl Edward Sagan

Values provide PERSPECTIVE in the best of times and worst.

- Charles A Garfield

Winners have the ability to step back from the canvas of their lives like an artist gaining PERSPECTIVE. They make their lives a work of art, an individual masterpiece.

- Denis Waitley

You must look within for value, but must look beyond for PERSPECTIVE.

- Denis Waitley

Postmodernism refuses to privilege any one PERSPECTIVE, and recognizes only difference, never inequality, only fragments, never conflict.

- Elizabeth Wilson

When a scientist is ahead of his times, it is often through misunderstanding of current, rather than intuition of future truth. In science there is never any error so gross that it won't one day, from some PERSPECTIVE, appear prophetic.

- Jean Rostand

Reason, progress, unselfishness, a wide historical PERSPECTIVE, expansiveness, generosity, enlightened self-interest. I had heard it all my life, and it filled me with despair.

- Katherine Tait

The reality of life is that your perceptions, right or wrong, influence everything else you do. When you get a proper PERSPECTIVE of your perceptions, you may be surprised how many other things fall into place.

- Roger Birkman

Reality is a question of PERSPECTIVE, the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems, but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems incredible.

- Salman Rushdie

If you're proactive, you don't have to wait for circumstances or other people to create PERSPECTIVE expanding experiences. You can consciously create your own.

- Stephen R Covey

Wisdom is your PERSPECTIVE on life, your sense of balance, your understanding of how the various parts and principles apply and relate to each other. It embraces judgment, discernment, comprehension. It is a gestalt or oneness, and integrated wholness.

- Stephen R Covey

I know that you, ladies and gentlemen, have a philosophy, each and all of you, and that the most interesting and important thing about you is the way in which it determines the PERSPECTIVE in your several worlds.

- William James
