Seeing People Quotes

“There is no perfection, only beautiful versions of brokenness.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“Sometimes, you will go through awful trials in your life and then a miracle happens--God heals you. Don’t be disheartened when the people you love don’t see things like you do. There will be Pharisees in your life that will laugh it off, deny that it happened, or will mock your experience based on righteousness they think you don't possess. God won't deny you a spiritual experience because you are not a spiritual leader. He loves everyone equal. The only people that really matter in life are the people that can “see” your heart and rejoice with you.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“People seldom change. Only their masks do. It is only our perception of them and the perception they have of themselves that actually change.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“Sometimes what a person expresses in their eyes is more than all the books you could read on suffering.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“It’s nice to know someone thinks of you as a person, not an opportunity.”
― Chelsea Sedoti, As You Wish

“Once we recognize the fact that every individual is a treasury of hidden and unsuspected qualities, our lives become richer, our judgment better, and our world is more right. It is not love that is blind, it is only the unnoticed eye that cannot see the real qualities of people.”
― Charles H. Percy

“You don’t get to decide what you’re worth because you obviously don’t know. You don’t get to decide that anymore because you have no fucking idea that you’re worth everything. What do you think this is? A joke? A decision I made for the hell of it? It’s not. It’s not destiny, Ox. You’re not bound by this. Not yet. There’s a choice. There is always a choice. My wolf chose you. I chose you. And if you don’t choose me, then that’s your choice and I will walk out of here knowing you got to choose your own path. But I swear to god, if you choose me, I will make sure that you know the weight of your worth every day for the rest of our lives because that’s what this is. I am going to be a fucking Alpha one day, and there is no one I’d rather have by my side than you. It’s you, Ox. For me, it’s always been you.” So I said, “Okay, Joe.” I looked up at him. His wolf was close to the surface. And he said, “Okay?” I said, “Okay. Okay. I don’t know if I see the things you do.” “I know.” “And I don’t know if I’ll be good enough.” “I know you will,” he said, eyes flashing orange. “But I promised you. I said it will always be you and me.” His face stuttered a bit, and he said, “You did. You promised me. You promised.”
― T.J. Klune, Wolfsong

“I watch the way you smile,
as our eyes meet across the space.
I watch the way your eyes caress,
my body
and its grace.
I watch the way you consider,
the things
that we could do.
I watch the way you watch me,
as I’m
thinking those same things too.
I watch the way you realize,
that some things
take time to be;
and until the time
is right for us
I’ll continue
to watch you
watching me.”
― N'Zuri Za Austin

“How frustrating to think you can be lost to yourself. And yet how often it is that a stranger stares back at you from the mirror. Maybe in truth we never see ourselves as clearly as the thousands of eyes that daily take us in.”
― Richelle E. Goodrich, Slaying Dragons: Quotes, Poetry, & a Few Short Stories for Every Day of the Year

“The cure for self-centeredness is found in our vision, in how we see people. I suppose we could say that self-centered people have 'I' trouble and need their vision corrected.”
― Sebastien Richard, Lead Like a Superhero: What Pop Culture Icons Can Teach Us About Impactful Leadership

“He looks me to pieces … I realize now that I have been glimpsed and corner-of-the-eyed before, by the Chief and my sister and the yawning tourists. But I have never actually been looked at. Not like this.”
― Karen Russell, St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves

“See the face of God today - The one you are looking down to!”
― John M. Sheehan, Fact Or Fiction; God's Math Or Myth

“When I lose sight of her,
when I reach for an iPhone
first thing in the morning
instead of her hand;
When I look at screens
before I see her face,
I put the screens away,
resuming my morning meditations
on the miracle of waking up beside her.”
― Eric Overby, Legacy

“People think that seeing is blaming. They assume that through articulating what's happening that they're being judged, and ridiculed, when they're actually just being seen. I don't mean to condemn. A scientist doesn't judge the organisms in a petri dish. Scientific experiments aren't about making the organisms right or wrong for doing what they're doing. It's about watching how they work, and getting to know how they behave and interact.”
― Madeleine Ryan, A Room Called Earth

“If you abruptly stop seeing someone after a relationship crisis, it can become so awkward and difficult to see them that you never do. That creates a lot of bad karma and certainly works against healing. Even if it’s uncomfortable, it’s better to see the person.”
― Donna Goddard, Geboor: Spiritual Fiction
