Famous quotes containing the words perceive and/or objects:
“Young people do not perceive at once that the giver of wounds is the enemy and the quoted tattle merely the arrow.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“I think of consciousness as a bottomless lake, whose waters seem transparent, yet into which we can clearly see but a little way. But in this water there are countless objects at different depths; and certain influences will give certain kinds of those objects an upward influence which may be intense enough and continue long enough to bring them into the upper visible layer. After the impulse ceases they commence to sink downwards.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
