Erwin Schrodinger Quotes

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.

None of us see the world as it is but as we are, as our frames of reference, or maps, define the territory.

What we experience is our own concept of things. That is why no two people see quite the same world, and why, in many cases, different people see such different worlds. To put it another way, we make our own world by the way in which we think; for we really do live in a world of our own thoughts.

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

We see the world, not as it is, but as we are──or, as we are conditioned to see it.

We see the world through the lens of all our experiences; that is a fundamental part of the human condition.

The miracle of your mind isn't that you can see the world as it is. It's that you can see the world as it isn't.

Problems only exist in the human mind.

All experience is subjective.

Reality is how we interpret it. Imagination and volition play a part in that interpretation. Which means that all reality is to some extent a fiction.

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

We see the world not as it is, but as we are.

Size is not a reality, but a construct of the mind; and space a construct to contain constructs.

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

Perception is reality. People take what they want to from things.

The prism through which you experience life is so unique. There is no objective experience.

We occupy a space of our own creation-a collage compounded by bits and pieces of actuality arranged into a design determined by our internal perceptions, our hopes, our fears, our memories, and our anticipations.

The world is my representation

Judgment means that you view the world as you are, rather than as it is.

From what I could see, the hardwood was just fine. Then again, I'd just see a windmill and an open sky, too, never feeling the need to conquer either. You think it's all obvious and straightforward, this world. But really, it's all in who is doing the looking.

It is the bane and the balm of individual perception that 'objective' reality is seen through the filter of each person's temperament.

Each of us tends to think we see things as they are, that we are objective. But this is not the case. We see the world, not as it is, but as we are - or as we are conditioned to see it.

We both know that, my friend, but a man's perception soon becomes his reality.

Now that's a concept that's always fascinated me: the real world. Only a very specific subset of people use the term, have you noticed? To me, it seems self-evident that everyone lives in the real world - we all breathe real oxygen, eat real food, the earth under our feet feels equally solid to all of us. But clearly these people have a far more tightly circumscribed definition of reality, one that I find deeply mysterious, and an almost pathologically intense need to bring others into line with that definition.

We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of these assumptions.
