Quotes
The only true voyage, the only bath in the Fountain of Youth, would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes, to see the universe through the eyes of another, of a hundred others, to see the hundred universes that each of them sees, that each of them is.
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are.
