The Highest Tide
Every scene, even the commonest, is wonderful, if only one can detach oneself, casting off all memory of use and custom, and behold it (as it were) for the first time; in its right, authentic colors; without making comparisons.
ARNOLD BENNETT
The Journal of Arnold Bennett
The age, wherein he lived was dark; but he
Could not want sight, who taught the world to see.
JOHN DENHAM
Todd's Johnson
Men are born with two eyes, but with one tongue, in order that they should see twice as much as they say.
CHARLES CALEB COLTON
Lacon
After all, the true seeing is within.
GEORGE ELIOT
Middlemarch
Modern life's technology, of course, jams a lot of bright lights into eyeballs that are staring at electronic screens. The technique of averted vision isn't something that comes naturally in these settings. The notion that seeing is a skill seems pretty weird but it is, indeed, very much a skill.

See and to be seen.
BEN JONSON
Epithalamion

Do not look too far for you will see nothing.
DEJAN STOJANOVIC
The Sun Watches the Sun
People are forever watching things. They should be seeing. I see the things I look at. I am a see-er.
PATRICK ROTHFUSS
The Wise Man's Fear
To learn to see -- to accustom the eye to calmness, to patience, and to allow things to come up to it; to defer judgment, and to acquire the habit of approaching and grasping an individual case from all sides. This is the first preparatory schooling of intellectuality. One must not respond immediately to a stimulus; one must acquire a command of the obstructing and isolating instincts.
FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
Twilight of the Idols
None is so blind as he who sees too much.
PHILIP MOELLER
Helena's Husband

TOBA BETA
My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
BILLIE HOLIDAY
"I'll Be Seeing You"
Seeing is an integrating activity. What you see is fixed in a moment; sight is a perception of depth and relationship, but not one of time and articulation.
JAMES STONE GOODMAN
"What's the blessing, what's the curse", St. Louis Jewish Light, August 17, 2017
Seeing in your eyes
Words can never say the way
Told me in your eyes
Final in a fade
Never no more hope away
Final in a fade
Seeing in your eyes

"Swan Lake"
He will see most without who has the best eyes within; and he who only sees with his bodily organs sees but the surface.

Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit
Men often perform the physical part of seeing without the mental -- often direct their eyes at persons and things without exercising individuality in connection.
