408 Quotes About Sight

    Truly, nothing more resembles God's eyes than the eyes of a child; they see the world for the first time, and create it. Before this, the world is chaos. All creatures - animals, trees, men, stones; everything:forms, colors, voices, smells, lightning flashes - flow unexplained in front of the child's eyes (no, not in front of them, inside them), and he cannot fasten them down, cannot establish order. The child's world is made not of clay, to last, but of clouds. (Report to Greco)

    To be taught to read—what is the use of that, if you know not whether what you read is false or true?

But to be taught to see is to gain word and thought at once, and both true.

    Люди пьют алкоголь, принимают наркотики, погружают себя в пучину дурмана, чтобы на время избавиться от тех тяжелых обязанностей, которые приносит свобода.— Какова же главная и тяжелейшая обязанность, налагаемая свободой? Видеть. Значит, мы пьем, чтобы на время ослепнуть.
