Worlds Apart Quotes

“The obvious is the hardest thing of all to point out to anyone who has genuinely lost sight of it.”
― Owen Barfield, Worlds Apart

“As we see it, the whole outlook brought about by the scientific revolution should have been--must be--a phase, only, of the evolution of consciousness. An absolutely indispensable phase, but a passing one. What is riveting it on to us and preventing us from superseding it, because it prevents us from even imaging any other kind of consciousness, is precisely this error of projecting it back into the past.”
― Owen Barfield, Worlds Apart
