Favorite Quote:
"We see very largely with the mind, and only partly
with the eyes. The phenomena of vision depend upon the minds interpretation of
the impression upon the retina. What we see is not that impression, but our own
interpretation of it."
by William H Bates, MD, Perfect Sight Without Glasses, page 148
