As a novelist, your impulse is toward multiplicity: multiple voices, multiple perceptions, multiple nuances, the ambiguity in human communication. Fiction really is the ultimate home for that sense of ambiguity.
Pankaj Mishra
Image
What is the possible benefit? Can this material save lives? Can it improve the quality of life in Iraq? Can it tend to shape our perceptions of how war should and should not be conducted? Can it shape our perceptions of who should be conducting war and in what manner? And the answer to that is a clear yes.
Julian Assange
Image
The risks involved in the pursuit of magic are--put simply--either getting frightened by unpleasant perceptions or becoming deluded. Unfortunately it is possible to suffer from both symptoms at the same time.
Philip Carr-Gomm
Image
Being a liberal progressive has been demonized as anti-white or overly on the side of blacks. There's nothing that can be done about that it's just where we are in the history of our perceptions.
Darryl Pinckney
Image
The key to changing our past, present, and future is to create our piece of the PIE (our Perceptions, Interpretations, & Expectations) on purpose.
Bill Crawford
Image
A new species is being born inside each one of us. Eventually, we will all express the perceptions and values of this new species.
Gary Zukav
Image
The perception of potential threats to survival may be much more important in determining behavior than the perceptions of potential profits, so that profit maximization is not really the driving force. It is fear of loss rather than hope of gain that limits our behavior.
Kenneth E. Boulding
Image
Consciousness is the screen. The images on the screen are your perceptions, the illusion that life is solid, that there is a material universe.
Frederick Lenz
Image
No one is offended at not seeing everything but one does not like to be mistaken, and that perhaps arises from the fact that man naturally cannot see everything, and that naturally he cannot err in the side he looks at, since the perceptions of our senses are always true.
Blaise Pascal
Image
What is madness? To have erroneous perceptions and to reason correctly from them.
Voltaire
Image
You become very angry and depressed that you keep getting offered only these exceedingly demure and repressed roles. They're so not me. That's why films like Fight Club were so important to me because I think I confounded certain stereotypes and limited perceptions of what I could do as an actress.
Helena Bonham Carter
Image
Had I not been told to look, I would have quite, ignorant of what was really there, because I had 'made plans' and was wearing visual and emotional blinders that limited my perceptions and my vision.
Jay Maisel
Image
Nirvana and enlightenment exist just on the other side of your sensory perceptions and your thoughts.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We are evolving from five-sensory humans into multisensory humans.... The perceptions of the multi-sensory human extend beyond physical reality to the larger dynamical systems of which our physical reality is a part.
Gary Zukav
Image
I am ever with those who practice Kriya Yoga. I will guide you to the Cosmic Home through your enlarging perceptions.
Lahiri Mahasaya
Image
Thirty years of spiritual practice has given me the realization that emotions are based on our perceptions, whether or not they are based on reality.
Michael Beckwith
Image
If you facilitate your subordinates' steady progress in meaningful work, make that progress salient to them, and treat them well, they will experience the emotions, motivations, and perceptions necessary for great performance.
Teresa Amabile
Image
The issue, perhaps, boils down to one of how perceptions or misperceptions of racial difference impact various 'individuals', or groups of 'individuals', experience of freedom in America. Some would argue that it goes beyond hampering their pursuit of happiness to outright obliterating it.
Aberjhani

But if we laugh with derision, we will never understand. Human intellectual capacity has not altered for thousands of years so far as we can tell. If intelligent people invested intense energy in issues that now seem foolish to us, then the failure lies in our understanding of their world, not in their distorted perceptions.
Stephen Jay Gould
Image
Never accept other people's limited perceptions of you. Define yourself. You can do anything.
Jeanette Jenkins
Image
I'm still a political revolutionary. The fire never went out of me, but perceptions and realizations change.
Bobby Seale
Image
Somebody said, Well, you're going to write your definitive book about your life, biography. No, I'm not. I haven't done that. I wrote a book of letters which gives an insight into the real me as opposed to the public perceptions of me. But I'm convinced historians will figure out the things we got wrong and hopefully the things we got right.
George H. W. Bush
Image
Beauty has always been an element of discussion for black women, whether or not we were the ones having the conversation. Out of necessity, black women have always had to consider others' perceptions of a certain beauty ideal, just starting with the skin color.
Mickalene Thomas
Image
I may venture to affirm the rest of mankind, that they are nothing but a bundle or collection of different perceptions, which succeed each other with an inconceivable rapidity, and are in a perpetual flux and movement.
