As there is not in human observation proper means for measuring the waste of land upon the globe, it is hence inferred, that we cannot estimate the duration of what we see at present, nor calculate the period at which it had begun; so that, with respect to human observation, this world has neither a beginning nor an end.

James Hutton

The philosophical question before us is, when we make an observation of our track in the past, does the result of our observation become real in the same sense that the final state would be defined if an outside observer were to make the observation?

Richard P. Feynman

Let observation with extended observation observe extensively.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

Women are always most observed when they seem themselves least to observe, or to lay out for observation.

Samuel Richardson

There is no ideal in observation. When you have an ideal, you cease to observe, you are then merely approximating the present to the idea, and therefore there is duality, conflict, and all the rest of it. The mind has to be in the state when it can see, observe. The experience of the observation is really an astonishing state. In that there is no duality. The mind is simply - aware.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Literature especially has an interesting relationship to photography - to observation, to description, to fiction: taking something that you see and elaborating, jamming, and I think, staging.... taking that moment of observation and letting it go, giving it some wings, following it, rather than nailing it. You're riffing off of reality.

Larry Sultan

If you try to observe the precepts, that is not true observation of precepts. When you observe the precepts without trying to observe the precepts, that is true observation of the precepts.

Shunryu Suzuki

Thus even supposedly unadulterated facts of observation already are interfused with all sorts of conceptual pictures, model concepts, theories or whatever expression you choose. The choice is not whether to remain in the field of data or to theorize; the choice is only between models that are more or less abstract, generalized, near or more remote from direct observation, more or less suitable to represent observed phenomena.

Ludwig von Bertalanffy

An independant reality in the ordinary physical sense can neither be ascribed to the phenomenon nor to the agencies of observation.

Niels Bohr

A curiously interested observer sees a great deal, a scientifically interested observer is worthy of all honor, and anxiously interested observer sees what others do not see, but a crazy observer sees perhaps the most, his observation is more intense and more persistent, just as the senses of certain animals are sharper than those of man.

Soren Kierkegaard

In matters of observation chance favors only the prepared mind. (not literal translation) - Dan's les champs de observation le hasard ne favorise que les esprits prepares.

Louis Pasteur

The observer cannot be left out of the description of the observation.

John Archibald Wheeler

All knowledge that is not the real product of observation, or of consequences deduced from observation, is entirely groundless and illusory.

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck

The two fulcra of medicine are reason and observation. Observation is the clue to guide the physician in his thinking.

Giorgio Baglivi

You have to have some kind of power of observation, almost like a trained observer.

Billy West

When we want to sink a convoy, we send out an observation plane first... Of course, to observe is not its real duty, we already know exactly where the convoy is. Its real duty is to be observed...Then, when we come round and sink them, the Germans will not find it suspicious.

Alan Turing
