Summary

This quote, often attributed to Aldous Huxley, refers to the idea that our understanding of reality is shaped by our perceptions. It suggests that there are things that we know and understand, things that are unknown and beyond our comprehension, but in between lies our perception - our interpretation and understanding of the world around us. The quote highlights the importance of recognizing the limitations of our perception and being open to new perspectives and ideas, as the doors of perception can expand our understanding of both the known and the unknown.
