My mother was teaching me that the inside of something was not necessarily its outside. Always look carefully, she told me. Look with more than your eyes.

About This Quote

My mother was teaching me that the inside of something was not necessarily its outside. Always look carefully, she told me. Look with more than your eyes. This quote by William Blake is a wonderful reminder to always look at the inside of something even if you can’t see it.

For instance, if you are looking at a piece of wood and it looks smooth on the outside, but on the inside there is some kind of texture or pattern, pay attention to that as well. The wood may be older than it appears. Or the grain may have some special meaning for some reason.
