“All looks yellow to a jaundiced eye.” Alexander Pope

“This quote by Alexander Pope suggests that a person’s perception is influenced by their state of mind or health. Just as someone with jaundice sees everything with a yellow tint, people with biases or negative emotions might view situations or people in a distorted, unfavorable way. It emphasizes the idea that our inner state can color our external experiences and judgments.” (ChatGPT)
