William Blake :

"If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man

as it is, infinite.

For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow

chinks of his cavern."

Aldous Huxley :

The man who comes back through the Door in the Wall will never

be quite the same as the man who went out. He will be wiser but

less sure, happier but less self-satisfied, humbler in acknowledging

his ignorance yet better equipped to understand the relationship of

words to things, of systematic reasoning to the unfathomable

mystery which it tries, forever vainly, to comprehend.
