 I like a view but I like to sit with my back turned to it. -Gertrude Stein

There is no absolute point of view from which 
real and ideal can be finally separated and labelled. 
-T. S. Eliot

As a means of contrast with the sublime, the grotesque is, in our view, the richest source that nature can offer. -Victor Hugo

  6. Sometimes, it's best to focus on the view outside, lest the one inside consume you. I like the Hugo quote too. He speaks of his gentleman of Notre Dame, no doubt.
