We say seeing is believing, but actually, we are much better at believing than at seeing. In fact, we are seeing what we believe all the time and occasionally seeing what we can't believe
I used to always wear Vans back in the day. I had every type of Vans and Converse there was. I was a Chucks guy and a Vans guy.
I'm a California boy, so I will go anywhere in my Vans. I don't really dress up a lot but I'll wear a suit and wear Vans, no problem.
I've been wearing Vans since I was a little kid. I wear them on stage, and I grew up skateboarding and surfing.
Believing is seeing. It's much more effective than the old notion that seeing is believing.
You must understand that seeing is believing, but also know that believing is seeing.
There are those who say that seeing is believing. I am telling you that believing is seeing.
I grew up in San Francisco. And so I'm informed in a certain kind of way about, you know, believing in democracy and believing in America. And I'm a very ardent patriot.
Knowledge, may it be said, is higher than magic and is more to be sought. It is quite possible to see what is happening and yet not know what is forward, for while seeing is believing, it does not follow that either seeing or believing is knowing.
I got started when I was about 15, or 16. My first break through was the Vans song with my group The Pack. That became a worldwide thing.
I grew up under Thatcher. I grew up believing that I was fundamentally powerless. Then gradually over the years it occurred to me that this was actually a very convenient myth for the state.
They say seeing is believing, but the opposite is true. Believing is seeing.
I grew up in a pretty tough neighborhood. I grew up around drugs, alcohol, prostitution, I grew up around everything, and I think part of seeing that from really young has made me really steer very far away from it in all of its forms.
Seeing my son getting roughed up by the police is not fun. It brings back memories of when I got roughed up by them. He grew up totally different than how I grew up, and to me, he shouldn't have to go through that.
My work is largely concerned
with relations between
seeing and knowing,
seeing and saying,
seeing and believing.
For Conservatives, seeing is believing; for liberals, believing is seeing.
