“Most people do not see the world as it is. They see it as they are”
“Most people see the world as a threatening place, and, because they do, the world turns out, indeed, to be a threatening place.”
“Most people don't think past themselves. I know that. But I want Vera to see other people. To respect other people. To realize that the whole world is not here for her. I want her to see her duty to the world, not the other way around.”
“People see what they wish to see. And in most cases, what they are told that they see.”
“It’s probably unfair to expect the world at large, or even most people, to see us for all we are. It is essential, however, that we see ourselves for all we are. (413)”
“People trust their eyes above all else - but most people see what they wish to see, or what they believe they should see; not what is really there”
