- Thornton Wilder

About this Quote

This quote by Thornton Wilder highlights the plain contrast in between our own thoughts and perceptions, and the truth of the world around us. Eavesdropping, or accidentally overhearing conversations, can frequently reveal to us that our own thoughts and beliefs are not always aligned with those of others. It works as a pointer that our private viewpoints are formed by our own experiences and predispositions, and that there is a large and varied world outside of our own minds. This quote motivates us to step outside of our own ideas and listen to the perspectives of others, in order to acquire a deeper understanding of the world and the people around us.
