"Indeed, it is very far from accurate to say that we see with our eyes. The eye is blind but for the idea behind the eye. It is the idea behind the eye that makes it different from a photographic plate-- that pricks out some parts with emphasis and censors out other parts. We see with the idea, and only *through* the eye."

...

"...the importance of the hand as an avenue of expression has not been understood. The hand is thought of as the slave of action. But the slave of action is the master of expression."

~from "The Book of A Hundred Hands" by George B. Bridgeman
