To know that no one before you has seen an organ you are examining, to trace relationships that have occurred to no one before, to immerse yourself in the wondrous crystalline world of the microscope, where silence reigns, circumscribed by its own horizon, a blindingly white arena - all this is so enticing that I cannot describe it.

Vladimir Nabokov

Where the telescope ends the microscope begins, and which has the wider vision?

Victor Hugo

Thanks to the telescope and the microscope, religion no longer offers an explanation for anything important.

Christopher Hitchens

Those who would legislate against the teaching of evolution should also legislate against gravity, electricity and the unreasonable velocity of light, and also, should introduce a clause to prevent the use of the telescope, the microscope and the spectroscope or any other instrument of precision which may in the future be invented, constructed or used for the discovery of truth.

Luther Burbank

LSD is simply an exploratory instrument like a microscope or telescope, except this one is inside of you instead of outside of you.

Alan Watts

LSD is a catalyst or amplifier of mental processes. If properly used it could become something like the microscope or telescope of psychiatry.

Stanislav Grof

Victor Hugo

The telescope makes the world smaller; it is only the microscope that makes it larger.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

Jazz is like a telescope, and a lot of other music is like a microscope.

Kamasi Washington

The task of the right eye is to peer into the telescope, while the left eye peers into the microscope.

Leonora Carrington

Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope.

Josh Billings

It is not only that there is no hiding place for the gods from the searching telescope and microscope; there is no such society any more as the gods once supported.

Joseph Campbell

Justice based purely on laws is about as accurate as a portrait created out of large low-resolution color pixels. If you stand back far enough it looks good. Come any closer and the glaring approximations overtake all semblance of the original. Justice should be viewable under the microscope, not from a telescope. And for that it needs to be based not on law but on truth.

Vera Nazarian
