“If one looks at a thing with the intention of trying to discover what it means, one ends up no longer seeing the thing itself, but thinking of the question that has been raised. The mind sees in two different senses: (1) sees, as with the eyes; and (2) sees a question (no eyes).”
— René Magritte, Belgian surrealist artist (1890-1967), cited in Humanist, Volume 84, Issues 1-6, Rationalist Press Association Ltd., Jan 1, 1969, p.176.
