“As a creation of light, the eye can do everything that light itself can do. Everything visible is passed on to the eye through light, the eye delivers it to the whole person. The ear is mute, the mouth is deaf; but the eye hears and speaks. From the outside, the world is reflected in the eye; from the inside, man. The totality of the inside and the outside is completed by the eye. ”
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Symmetry As a Developmental Principle in Nature and Art
