Summary

This quote suggests that our perception and interpretation of things are subjective and can influence our understanding of reality. It emphasizes the idea that our perspective shapes our perception of the world, rather than it being an objective truth. In other words, the way we perceive and interpret situations, events, or objects is not based on their inherent nature, but rather on our own individual perspective, biases, and personal experiences. This quote reminds us that our perception can be altered or influenced, and encourages us to consider multiple perspectives to gain a fuller understanding of the world around us.

For my own part, I declare I know nothing whatever about it.

For my own part, I declare I know nothing whatever about it. But to look at the stars always makes me dream, as simply as I dream over the black dots of a map representing towns and villages. Why, I ask myself, should the shining dots of the sky not be as accessible as the black dots on the map of France? If we take the train to get to Tarascon or Rouen, we take death to reach a star. One thing undoubtedly true in this reasoning is this: that while we are alive we cannot get to a star, any more than when we are dead we can take the train.

Our roots are in the dark; the earth is our country. Why did

Our roots are in the dark; the earth is our country. Why did we look up for blessing -- instead of around, and down? What hope we have lies there. Not in the sky full of orbiting spy-eyes and weaponry, but in the earth we have looked down upon. Not from above, but from below. Not in the light that blinds, but in the dark that nourishes, where human beings grow human souls.
