“Open your eyes, ears, mind, and consciousness for the truth is right in your face. You can see it but only if you would pay attention!!!”

“Open your eyes, train your ears, use your head. If a mind you have, then use it while you can.”

“Bad things open your eyes to the good things you weren’t paying attention to before.”

“The bad things in life open your eyes to the good things you weren’t paying attention to before.”

“So go ahead. Do it—open the book. See? You see me, right? And I see you. See? I am reading your face, your eyes, your lips. I know the sufferdust on your brow. I can see you reading and I can tell, too, when you are here, when you’re absent, what you’ve read and how it affects you. There is no more hiding. I see your chords—your fractures, your cold gifts, where and when you’ve hurt people and why. It’s all right there—your stories are written right there on your face!”

“if something is there, you can only see it with your eyes open, but if it isn't there, you can see it just as well with your eyes closed. That's why imaginary things are often easier to see than real ones.”
