“It's as if when I open myself up to every perception, things create their own focus.”
― Kristin Cashore, Graceling

“There is no deception on the part of the woman, where a man bewilders himself: if he deludes his own wits, I can certainly acquit the women. Whatever man allows his mind to dwell upon the imprint his imagination has foolishly taken of women, is fanning the flames within himself -- and, since the woman knows nothing about it, she is not to blame. For if a man incites himself to drown, and will not restrain himself, it is not the water's fault.”
― John Gower, Confessio Amantis, Volume 1

“The optimist sees the doughnut, the pessimist sees the hole.”
― McLandburgh Wilson

“If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is - infinite.”
― William Blake
