"We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are..."
Yes, well, it's pithy, and such a great little quote... there is some dispute about where it originated - The Talmud, I. Kant, Anais Nin, Anonymous?
It does seem oh so "true!"
Turns out Anais Nin is very, very quotable... there's also this...
"You cannot save people, you can only love them."
And this too...
"Experience teaches acceptance of the imperfect as life."
