Quote

We see the world through the lens of all our experiences; that is a fundamental part of the human condition.

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.

The individual whose vision encompasses the whole world often feels nowhere so hedged in and out of touch with his surroundings as in his native land.

Every person takes the limits of their own field of vision for the limits of the world.

Man has demonstrated that he is master of everything except his own nature.

But the main things about a man are his eyes and his feet. He should be able to see the world and go after it.

The plain man is familiar with blindness and deafness, and knows from his everyday experience that the look of things is influenced by his senses; but it never occurs to him to regard the whole world as the creation of his senses.

He who never sacrificed a present to a future good or a personal to a general one can speak of happiness only as the blind do of colors.

The standpoint of the man who relies on religious experience for capturing Reality must always remain individual and incommunicable.

The tourist who moves about to see and hear and open himself to all the influences of the places which condense centuries of human greatness is only a man in search of excellence.
