Richelle Mead Quotes

Reality is what we take to be true. What we take to be true is what we believe. What we believe is based upon our perceptions. What we perceive depends upon what we look for. What we look for depends upon what we think. What we think depends upon what we perceive. What we perceive determines what we believe. What we believe determines what we take to be true. What we take to be true is our reality.

Remember that our reactions are a product of our perceptions, and our perceptions are a result of what is at the center of our life.

To see, to hear, means nothing. To recognize (or not to recognize) means everything. Between what I do recognize and what I do not recognize there stands myself. And what I do not recognize I shall continue not to recognize.

The world you see is less of an indication about the world and more of an indication about your seeing.

It is my mind, with its store of images, that gives the world colour and sound; and that supremely real and rational certainty which I call "experience" is, in its most simple form, an exceedingly complicated structure of mental images. Thus there is, in a certain sense, nothing that is directly experienced except the mind itself. Everything is mediated through the mind.

There is no order of things except in the human mind.

I'm trying to get more into other things, where reality is nothing but each individual's way of thinking.

And as well as I dream, I reason if I want, for that's just another kind of dream.

I think perception is important.

Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.

To arrive at a contradiction is to confess an error in one's thinking; to maintain a contradiction is to abdicate one's mind and to evict oneself from the realm of reality.

Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them.

You live in the image you have of the world. Every one of us lives in a different world, with different space and different time.

As the ego cogito, subjectivity is the consciousness that represents something, relates this representation back to itself, and so gathers with itself.

I see the world through my eyes. It's sometimes a strange world.

Problems only exist in the human mind.

Without consciousness, space and time are nothing.

I'm not interested in observed reality.

You and I do not see things as they are. We see things as we are.

Complete objectivity is not an option. We are all subjective about the way we respond to 'what is,' whether it's the people we encounter, the circumstances in our lives, or ourselves. What we can do is reduce our subjectivity - what I call 'I see, therefore it is.'

Where conscious subjectivity is concerned, there is no distinction between the observation and the thing observed.

Remember, we see the world not as it is but as we are. Most of us see through the eyes of our fears and our limiting beliefs and our false assumptions.

Truth is, in fact, an elusive concept. It depends almost entirely on where you are standing at the time. It is a human instinct to confuse belief with truth.

People just see what they want to see.

People like things that make sense to them; your perspective is your reality.
