Quote by Elizabeth Bowen

No object is mysterious. The mystery is your eye.

No object is mysterious. The mystery is your eye.

Summary

This quote suggests that the true mystery lies in the interpretation of the observer rather than in the object itself. It implies that objects and phenomena may appear mysterious or enigmatic based on how they are perceived or viewed. Our own perspectives, biases, and limitations play a significant role in shaping our understanding of the world. Hence, this quote highlights the subjective nature of perception and the inherent complexity of human consciousness.
