There are none so blind as those who will not see.

(based on Jeremiah 5:21)
Hope and Fear Cloud Our Vision.
We do not always see what is before our face -
sometimes we see what we hope to see,
or what we fear we will see.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Normally, we do not so much look at things as overlook them.
- Alan Watts
The question is not what you look at, but what you see.
