About This Quote

When we look at something, we see only a small part of the whole. We see what we expect to see. However, when we look at something we don’t expect to see, we actually do see something different. When we think of reality, we tend to think of what our eyes and minds take in as normal, but there is always more to the picture than meets the eye.
