“Things aren't obvious unless we see them.”

“There are lots of things we choose not to see. Doesn't mean they aren't there, even if we wish they weren't.”

“...you have to leave the island in order to see the island, that we can't see ourselves unless we become free of ourselves, Unless we escape from ourselves you mean, No, that's not the same thing.”

“There are a lot of things we choose not to see. Doesn't mean they aren't there, even if we wish they weren't. --Charlie”

“Unless we press the limits, unless we stretch and expand them, unless we can accept at least the possibility that we may be wrong, or blinkered, or wrapped in our own habitual and familiar vision, we will never even see the prison bars we have constructed, let alone be able to break free of them.”

“Things aren't good or bad in and of themselves. It's what we do with them that makes them so.”
