You wish for something, you've wanted it for years, and you're sure you want it, as long as you know you can't have it. But if all at once it looks as though your wish might come true, you suddenly find yourself wishing you had never wished for any such thing.

Michael Ende

Observe, and in that observation there is neither the "observer" nor the "observed" - there is only observation taking place.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

Bistromathics itself is simply a revolutionary new way of understanding the behavior of numbers. Just as Einstein observed that space was not an absolute but depended on the observer's movement in space, and that time was not an absolute, but depended on the observer's movement in time, so it is now realized that numbers are not absolute, but depend on the observer's movement in restaurants.

Douglas Adams

There's only one thing I never did and wish I had done: climbed over a fence.

Mary of Teck

The observer is the observed.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

The possibility of interpretation lies in the identity of the observer with the observed. Each material thing has its celestial side; has its translation, through humanity, into the spiritual and necessary sphere, where it plays a part as indestructible as any other.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

There's always some days you wish things had never happened, like you'd never been born, that sort of thing but I'm not the kind of person anyway that can just sit around and say, "gee, I wish that never happened." I don't ever do that. There's no point. That is a total and complete waste of time.

Patty Hearst

The universe as we know it is a joint product of the observer and the observed.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

...separation of the observer from the phenomenon to be observed is no longer possible.

Werner Heisenberg

Photographs are detonators. They explode in us. We are the gaze as well as the gazed-at. The observer and the observed.

Edmundo Desnoes

Running is the one part of my life in which I fundamentally feel like the observer instead of the observed.

Chelsea Clinton

I think the only thing to consider is do you want to try to coach in the NBA and for me it never was an issue. I never really had that desire.

Jim Boeheim

A writer's job is not complete without attention to precision. What you're trying to be precise about is your relationship to the observed thing. And "observed thing" could include remembered thing, fantasized thing, fictionalized thing, recorded thing, trans-altered thing. It's the model that's in front of you or in your brain or your memory or whatever. So you're trying to be precise about what it is you're seeing because it's very unlikely that you're going to be able to depict it as it is.

David Biespiel

Now I no longer wish to be loved, beautiful, happy or successful. I want one thing and one thing only - to be left alone.

Jean Rhys

I had always felt that I was an observer, never a participant; that I was watching from behind a thick glass wall as people went about the business of living--and did it with such ease, with a skill that they took for granted and that I had never known.

Tana French

I wish that people had an opportunity to watch me 24/7, like on 'Big Brother.' You'd see a person who is quiet and reserved and very analytical - a huge observer.
