To acknowledge, to accept, and to forgive one's parents - both what they gave and what they did not give, both one's dependence upon them and one's independence of them - is the ultimate hallmark of maturity: a perception as valid for institutions as for individuals.
Ernest Kurtz
Image
I believe that both art and the human striving for cognitive comprehension are manifest forms of the grand game in which nothing more is stipulated than the game's rules both art and actively solicited perceptions are but special cases of the recurring creative act to which we owe our existence.
Konrad Lorenz
Image
I think the city of Washington itself is insular to a certain extent. You have to get out in the country to realize what is going on and discover that the perceptions in Washington aren't necessarily accurate.
Rosalynn Carter

Stillness is your essential nature. What is stillness? The inner space or awareness in which the words on this page are bieng perceived and become thoughts. Without that awareness, there would be no perception, no thoughts, no world. You are that awareness, disguised as a person.
Eckhart Tolle
Image
It's weird to be called a celebrity or talk about it. I don't talk about being a celebrity in my business meetings. I don't talk about it with my friends. It's not a part of my life. It's a media perception of who I am.
Mary-Kate Olsen

A famous person to themselves, they don't get up in the morning and think, I'm famous. I'm not famous to me. Famous is a perception.
Van Morrison
Image
All perception of truth is the detection of an analogy.
Henry David Thoreau

There are rules about perception, but not about photography.
Jay Maisel

I think it's easier for the general public to embrace me in a negative way. You have people who already have a perception of me that says I'm a bad person.
Curtis Jackson

It is a little surprising given the strength of the economy that there is a perception - at least among some of the public - that the economy is not very good.
Edward Lazear
Image
The light is there, and colors surround us. However, if there were no light nor colors in our own eye, we wouldn't perceive such things outside of us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The arts are neglected because they are based on perception, and perception is disdained because it is not assumed to involve thought.
Rudolf Arnheim
Image
Imagination is as effortless as perception, unless we think it might be ‘wrong’, which is what our education encourages us to believe.
Keith Johnstone
Image
Perception is naturally surpassed toward action better yet, it can be revealed only in and through projects of action. The world is revealed as an always future hollow, for we are always future to ourselves.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Image
Many church folk, in their self-conscious attempt to be overtly morally upright, emit all the wrong signals, thus messing with people's perception of the gospel.
Alan Hirsch
Image
Through the experience of art, the powers of perception and transformation can be awakened, in both those who create it and those who re-perceive it.
John Paul Caponigro
Image
My altered perception of reality while on psychedelic drugs came as a total shock to me.
Susan Schneider
Image
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.
T. S. Eliot
Image
He is the true enchanter, whose spell operates, not upon the senses, but upon the imagination and the heart.
Washington Irving
Image
If you think one thing is sacred but you cannot stand the other, if you love the Creator but hate the creation, that is vulgarity.
Jaggi Vasudev
Image
We can imagine a society in which no one could survive as a social being because it does not correspond to biologically determined perceptions and human social needs. For historical reasons, existing societies might have such properties, leading to various forms of pathology.
Noam Chomsky
Image
I don't see people as groups, I see them as individuals.
Tommy Lee Jones
Image
The near explains the far. The drop is a small ocean. A man is related to all nature. This perception of the worth of the vulgar is fruitful in discoveries. Goethe, in this very thing the most modern of the moderns, has shown us, as none ever did, the genius of the ancients.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Semi-Tough pokes fun in rambling fashion, but it is vulgar in intelligent ways and almost always amusing in its perceptions of befuddled people who are perfectly healthy but often convinced they're not.
