"There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception." (Aldous Huxley)
In this quote Huxley is suggesting that without perception, we do not have knowledge. We have to first take in and process sensory information to convert ideas into representations of the world that we can make sense of. By doing this, we change what is 'unknown' to us to things that are 'known' to us. So this quote basically means that things we do not know has to first enter 'the doors of perception' in order to become knowledge and things we do know. It is an 'input > processing information > output' procedure.
