Louise Glück
“The master said You must write what you see.
But what I see does not move me.
The master answered Change what you see.
Louise Glück, Vita Nova

A.E. Coppard
“To analyze or assess a person's failings or deficiencies,' he declared to himself, 'is useless, not because such blemishes are immovable, but because they affect the mass of beholders in diverse ways. Different minds perceive utterly variant figures in the same being.”
A.E. Coppard, Dusky Ruth and Other Stories

Aldous Huxley
“The man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never be quite the same as the man who went out. He will be wiser but less sure, happier but less self-satisfied, humbler in acknowledging his ignorance yet better equipped to understand the relationship of words to things, of systematic reasoning to the unfathomable mystery which it tries, forever vainly, to comprehend”
Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception

Pedro Calderón de la Barca
“In this treacherous world
Nothing is the truth nor a lie.
Everything depends on the color
Of the crystal through which one sees it”
Pedro Calderón de la Barca

Edmund Spenser
“Why then should witless man so much misweene
That nothing is but that which he hath seene?”
Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene
