Quote by Charlie Kaufman

Summary

This quote by Jean-Michel Basquiat emphasizes the inherent subjectivity in our perception of reality. It suggests that objectivity is an elusive concept because our views are shaped by our individual identities, experiences, and circumstances. We cannot separate ourselves from these factors when interpreting the world around us. Our gender, age, profession, and the state of the world all influence our perspective and prevent us from achieving a truly objective understanding. Thus, this quote highlights the limitations of objectivity and invites us to be aware of the subjective lens through which we perceive and engage with the world.
