Famous quotes containing the word notice:
“The way a child discovers the world constantly replicates the way science began. You start to notice what’s around you, and you get very curious about how things work. How things interrelate. It’s as simple as seeing a bug that intrigues you. You want to know where it goes at night; who its friends are; what it eats.”
—David Cronenberg (b. 1943)
“The Muses inspire art and pretend not to notice when Mammon buys it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“We do not place especial value on the possession of a virtue until we notice its total absence in our opponent.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
