"Our reality is influenced by our notions..." - Quote by Joseph Chilton Pearce

“Seeing within changes one's outer vision.”

“The word 'comfort' comes from the Latin words for 'with' and 'strength' and originally meant operating from a position of power.”

“One's capacity for metaphor is one's capacity for a full life.”

“Politics is largely the process of taking credit and putting the blame on others - regardless of what the facts may be.”

“The quicker you are in attaching verbal or mental labels to things, people, or situations, the more shallow and lifeless your reality becomes, and the more deadened you become to reality”

“A great affliction of all Philistines is that idealities afford them no entertainment, but to escape from boredom they are always in need of realities.”

“The saddest thing in life is people with sight, but without vision.”

“Painting seems to be to the eye what dancing is to the limbs. When that has educated the frame to self-possession, to nimbleness,to grace, the steps of the dancing-master are better forgotten; so painting teaches me the splendor of color and the expression of form, and as I see many pictures and higher genius in the art, I see the boundless opulence of the pencil, the indifferency in which the artist stands free to choose out of the possible forms.”

“People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude.”
