"If you want to see a miracle, just open your eyes, your heart, and your soul to the possibility of it all"
About this Quote
The subtext is Cage’s career in miniature. He’s an actor who’s built a legend on refusing ironic distance, even when the material begs for it. This line argues for that same stance in everyday life: cynicism is a closed door; sincerity is a method. It’s also a useful self-defense against modern numbness. When algorithms pre-chew experience into content, “miracle” becomes a deliberate act of re-sensitizing yourself - noticing the ordinary without demanding it perform.
Context matters: this isn’t a theologian staking a claim about divine intervention. It’s a pop-cultural mystic’s motivational spell, less doctrine than permission slip. Cage’s intent is to make awe feel accessible, not earned, and to remind you that the first special effect is attention.
