quotations about sight
She has the Sight. She can see what others do not. In her old life she often wondered if she was mad. Now she knows that she is not mad but special.
CASSANDRA CLARE
Clockwork Angel
I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces all day through
In that small cafe, the park across the way
The children's carousel,
The chestnut trees, the wishing well
IRVING KAHAL
"I'll Be Seeing You", Right This Way
And on the day I said good-bye
My drowning tear catches a light
Like the gift of sight
The baby's eye, darkness into light

Sight is something you need to ask God for. It is not many people who have really asked for sight. We have asked God for more years, more children, weddings and better businesses, but not many people have asked for sight. Imagine what you can begin to see if God opens your eyes right now, eyes you think are open already?
EMMANUEL MAKANDIWA
"Sight: The eye within, Part I", The Herald, September 4, 2017
Now, we see what we are shown. We have gotten used to being shown no matter what, within or beyond the limited range of human sight. This habituation to the monopoly of visualization-on-command strongly suggests that only those things that can in some way be visualized, recorded, and replayed at will are part of reality.... The result is a strange mistrusts of our own eyes, a disposition to take as real only that which is mechanically displayed in a photograph, a statistical curve, or a table. Eyewitness testimony must be "substantiated" by records that have been acquired, and can be stored and then shown.
