Quote by R. L. Gregory

The seeing of objects involves many sources of information beyond those meeting the eye when we look at an object. It generally involves knowledge of the object derived from previous experience, and this experience is not limited to vision but may include the other senses: touch, taste, smell, hearing, and perhaps also temperature or pain.

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that our perception of objects goes beyond what meets the eye. When we see something, we not only rely on visual input but also draw on our past experiences and knowledge related to the object. This knowledge is not only limited to what we have seen, but also extends to other senses such as touch, taste, smell, and hearing. It suggests that our understanding of an object involves a holistic combination of sensory information and prior experiences.

This is what you get when you found a political system on the family values of Henry VIII. At a point in the not-too-remote future, the stout heart of Queen Elizabeth II will cease to beat. At that precise moment, her firstborn son will become head of state, head of the armed forces, and head of the Church of England. In strict constitutional terms, this ought not to matter much. The English monarchy, as has been said, reigns but does not rule. From the aesthetic point of view it will matter a bit, because the prospect of a morose bat-eared and chinless man, prematurely aged, and with the most abysmal taste in royal consorts, is a distinctly lowering one.
