Inspiring Quotes On Perception And Reality

Perception is defined by a belief or opinion, often held by people and based on how things seem. Reality is the state of things as they are or appear to be. Simply put, perception is defined as what we are seeing and reality is defined as what is happening. Check out some powerful quotes on perception and reality here.
