“An allusion is something we refuse to see, but we see what we want to see....”

“Sometimes we become what we see. Sometimes we take what we see and make it the model for what we refuse to become.”

“We only see what we want to see.”

“Optimism is a matter optics, of seeing what you want to see and not seeing what you don't want to see. Hope, on the other hand, is a Christian virtue. It is the unblinking acknowledgment of all that militates against hope, and the unrelenting refusal to despair. We have not the right to despair, and, finally, we have not the reason to despair”

“We see what we want to see. We hear what we want to hear. We do what we want to do, until we attain enlightenment. Afterwards we ascertain what we see. we listen carefully to what we hear and we act with guidance from the heart.”

“We see what we want to see. We idealize each other with our own fantasies.”
