Famous quotes containing the word observation:
“I should say that the most prominent scientific men of our country, and perhaps of this age, are either serving the arts and not pure science, or are performing faithful but quite subordinate labors in particular departments. They make no steady and systematic approaches to the central fact.... There is wanting constant and accurate observation with enough of theory to direct and discipline it. But, above all, there is wanting genius.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There is no better proof of a man’s being truly good than his desiring to be constantly under the observation of good men.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“The Artist is he who detects and applies the law from observation of the works of Genius, whether of man or Nature. The Artisan is he who merely applies the rules which others have detected.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
