Pharrell Williams Quotes

It is necessary to judge accurately the things that rest on opinion

I have a problem when people say something's real or not real, or normal or abnormal. The meaning of those words for me is very personal and subjective. I've always been confused and never had a clearcut understanding of the meaning of those kinds of words.

Nobody knows what another person is thinking. They may imagine they do, but they are nearly always wrong.

You can disagree with another person's opinions. You can disagree with their doctrines. You can't disagree with their experience.

But the truth is that no person ever understands another, from beginning to end of life, there is no truth that can be known, only the story we imagine to be true, the story they really believe to be true about themselves; and all of them lies.

I wouldn't claim to know what another person is thinking. I can imagine it, but it's my interpretation, and I try to make that clear. It's my vision of what I think their life is. I don't think there are empirical truths in that regard.

Remember that all is opinion.

I never know how much of what I say is true.

It makes me uncomfortable to talk about meanings and things. It's better not to know so much about what things mean. Because the meaning, it's a very personal thing, and the meaning for me is different than the meaning for somebody else.

Judgment is contained in the act of trying to understand.

One man's observation is another man's closed book or flight of fancy.

For me, it's an experiment to see what people are gonna think of it.

I have learned the hard way to mind my business, without judging who people are and what they do. I am more troubled by the lack of space being provided for the truth to unfold. Humans cannot seem to wait for or honor the truth. Instead, we make it up based on who we believe people should or should not be.

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.

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.'

Facts matter not at all. Perception is everything. It's certainty.

Whatever people think, is.

In polling, truth is what people perceive.

One's memories aren't what actually happened - they're very subjective. You can always make it much better, right?

Remember that my view, the only true view I can see with, is through the black eyes that I have.

People are going to assume whatever they want to assume.

The people who know me, know me. Those are the only ones I worry about.

The way we remember people, even their beauty is all so subjective and a matter of perspective.

I do, in a strange way, care deeply what people think.
