About This Quote

This quote shows how we can only experience the world around us through our own interpretation. If you have never encountered something before, it can be hard to know whether or not you are truly experiencing it. This is why it’s so hard to appreciate beauty when you are not used to it. You have to bring that beauty with you in order to really see it.
