If we can map the retina, that will help us understand how it functions in vision, as well as devise new ways of repairing its malfunctions. And if we can really figure out the retina, perhaps we will have a shot at figuring out the vastly more complicated brain.

A vision is not just a picture of what could be; it is an appeal to our better selves, a call to become something more.

The eye altering, alters all.

We cannot afford to exclude any vision - any way of looking at the world - that human beings have invented for ourselves.

Vision is perhaps our greatest strength... it has kept us alive to the power and continuity of thought through the centuries, it makes us peer into the future and lends shape to the unknown.

Real vision demands that we make tough choices. Real vision is responsible and it is paid for.

To find better means of fixing the brain, we first need to achieve something more fundamental. We must understand how it works.

Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.

A simple, well-proven surgery can restore sight to millions, and something even simpler, a pair of glasses, can make millions more see.

Well, it seems to me a scientist has need for both vision and confidence.
