Real Perception

Famous quotes containing the words real and/or perception:

“A man’s real life is that accorded to him in the thoughts of other men by reason of respect or natural love.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

“Men are not philosophers, but are rather very foolish children, who, by reason of their partiality, see everything in the most absurd manner, and are the victims at all times of the nearest object. There is even no philosopher who is a philosopher at all times. Our experience, our perception is conditioned by the need to acquire in parts and in succession, that is, with every truth a certain falsehood.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
