A straight oar looks bent in the water. What matters is not merely that we see things but how we see them.

If you ask people what attracted them to the person they love, they never tell you of some perfect feature that focused them on sheer surfaces but rather an imperfection that allowed them to see into their uncharted depths.

Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.

I am not a painter, nor an artist. Therefore I can see straight, and that may be my undoing.

Seeing comes from the inside, from the heart, from life's experiences.

I think love is blind. You don't see it; you don't hear what people are saying or what you're saying. You don't see what you're doing. All you see is the person in front of you. That's it.

You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water.

I used to believe that love was finding someone who would lead you through the deep water.

If my ship sails from sight, it doesn't mean my journey ends, it simply means the river bends.

As social beings we live with our eyes upon our reflection, but have no assurance of the tranquillity of the waters in which we see it.
