- William Blake

About this Quote

This quote by William Blake suggests that if we were able to look at the world with no presumptions or biases, we would be able to see the world as it genuinely is - infinite. This implies that our understanding of the world is limited by our own beliefs and experiences. We often see the world through a narrow lens, and this avoids us from seeing the full scope of what is out there. By cleaning our understanding, we can open ourselves approximately a much bigger and more expansive view of the world. This quote motivates us to look beyond our own limited point of views and to embrace the limitless possibilities that exist in the world.
