Rorschach Test Quotes

“My left hand is a Rorschach blotch all its own, a six-fingered, skin-blood-and-bone ink splatter. People see it and fly their worst fears and secret fetishes at full mast when they think they’re being discreet. They see it as strange, fascinating, ugly, beautiful, disgusting or erotic depending on what’s behind their eyes.”
― Craig Clevenger, The Contortionist's Handbook

“Books are just like Rorschach tests. The patterns we find in a book’s ink reveal far more about us than they do about them. Our feelings, reviews, perceptions, and understandings of a book — as well as the meaning, value, and patterns we find within them — always say more about us than they do about the book.”
― Sean Norris, Heaven and Hurricanes

“Weather is a kind of Rorschach test. We see in it what we need to see, or what we feel is missing from our lives.”
― Richard Mabey, Turned Out Nice Again: Living with the Weather
