The earth is the earth as a peasant sees it, the world is the world as a duchess sees it, and anyway a duchess would be nothing if the earth was not there as the peasant sees it.

A simile is like a pair of eyeglasses, one side sees this, one side sees that, the device brings them together.

The common thread between 'Moon Shoes' and 'Midnight Moonlight' would definitely be their connection to the moon. However, I feel they both capture a very different quality of the moon. Perhaps 'Moon Shoes' epitomizes the moon during the summer, while 'Midnight Moonlight' the winter.

Ravyn Lenae

I would like to show the world today as an ant sees it and tomorrow as the moon sees it.

Hannah Hoch

Every man is a moon; he has a side no one sees.

Mark Twain

The man who sees two or three generations is like one who sits in the conjuror's booth at a fair, and sees the same tricks two or three times. They are meant to be seen only once.

Arthur Schopenhauer

The gentleman sees what is right while the small man sees what is profitable.

Confucius

While unbelief sees the difficulties, faith sees God between itself and them.

Obama sees everything backward. Where Americans see individual achievement, he sees government's work. Where we see failing companies, he sees innovation worth subsidizing. Where we see the need for economic growth, he sees a need for higher taxes.

Reince Priebus

The child often sees only what he already knows. He projects the whole of his verbal thought into things. He sees mountains as built by men, rivers as dug out with spades, the sun and moon as following us on our walks.

Jean Piaget

A pessimist sees only the dark side of the clouds and mopes; a philosopher sees both sides and shrugs; an optimist doesn't see the clouds at all - he's walking on them.

Leonard Louis Levinson

The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Heavenly Father's interest in you does not depend on how rich or beautiful or healthy or smart you are. He sees you not as the world sees you; He sees who you really are. He looks on your heart. And He loves you because you are His child.
