974 – “We open our eyes and think we’re seeing the whole world out there. But what has become clear – and really just in the last few centuries – is that when you look at the electro-magnetic spectrum we are seeing less than 1/10 billionth of the information that’s riding on there. So we call that visible light. But everything else passing through our bodies is completely invisible to us. Even though we accept the reality that’s presented to us, we’re really only seeing a little window of what’s happening.”

-David Eagleman

717 – “On ne voit bien qu’avec le cœur. L’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.”

“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

– The Fox in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s novella The Little Prince

497 – “There are many ways to silence young people and make them invisible. Many ways to anesthetize them, to make them keep quiet, ask nothing, question nothing. There are many ways to sedate them, to keep them from getting involved, to make their dreams flat and dreary, petty and plaintive. … Dear young people, you have it in you to shout.”

–Pope Francis, Bishop of Rome
