Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.
Martin Farquhar TupperTags: perspective
What I need is perspective. The illusion of depth, created by a frame, the arrangement of shapes on a flat surface. Perspective is necessary. Otherwise there are only two dimensions. Otherwise you live with your face squashed up against a wall, everything a huge foreground, of details, close-ups, hairs, the weave of the bedsheet, the molecules of the face. Your own skin like a map, a diagram of futility, criscrossed with tiny roads that lead nowhere. Otherwise you live in the moment. Which is not where I want to be.
Margaret AtwoodTags: perspective
I tried to put things in perspective but sometimes you're just too close to it.
Cormac McCarthyTags: perspective distance closeness
You could try making sense out of the universe, but you were too small and the parts you needed to see were too large or even smaller.

If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and adore.
Ralph Waldo EmersonTags: inspirational perspective
You meet a new person, you go with him and suddenly you get a whole new city...you go down new streets, you see houses you never saw before, pass places you didn't even know were there. Everything changes.
Samuel R. DelanyTags: perspective change travel discovery
It is the obvious which is so difficult to see most of the time. People say 'It's as plain as the nose on your face.' But how much of the nose on your face can you see, unless someone holds a mirror up to you?

Oh, why does compassion weaken us?'
It doesn't, really ... Somewhere where it all balances out - don't the philosophers have a name for it, the perfect place, the place where the answers live? - if we could go there, you could see it doesn't. It only looks, a little bit, like it does, from here, like an ant at the foot of an oak tree. He doesn't have a clue that it's a tree; it's the beginning of the wall round the world, to him.

The most fatal illusion is the settled point of view. Since life is growth and motion, a fixed point of view kills anybody who has one.
