The hugeness is visible from a distance 
Большое видится на растояние

 I was reading Moviemaker's master class - the private lessons from the world's foremost directors by Laurent Tirard and suddenly I realized that I am transferring all their experiences into my own imagination. At the beginning I was afraid of that, I was going far away from my own world, but now I know, that the farther you go, the closer you can be to yourself. I do not know when I heard that Russian expression for the first time, but I know for sure, that I will never forget it: The hugeness is visible from a distance. I admit that it is not the best translation, but at least it gives the core of  meaning.
