Perception Quotations
The perception of beauty is a moral test.
Henry David Thoreau
Science is nothing but perception.
Plato
It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it.
Anais Nin
If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.
William Blake
I like to hide behind the characters I play. Despite the public perception, I am a very private person who has a hard time with the fame thing.
Angelina Jolie
If I make a fool of myself, who cares? I'm not frightened by anyone's perception of me.
Angelina Jolie
There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.

In England we have come to rely upon a comfortable time-lag of fifty years or a century intervening between the perception that something ought to be done and a serious attempt to do it.
H. G. Wells
Every beauty which is seen here by persons of perception resembles more than anything else that celestial source from which we all are come.
Michelangelo
Photography, as a powerful medium of expression and communications, offers an infinite variety of perception, interpretation and execution.
