I love making observations. That one is a classic example.
Stephen Colbert
No one can depict desolation who hasn't inhabited desolation and observed it very closely. Things condemned have a terrible beauty.
Tove Jansson
I need to write down my observations. Even the tiniest ones; they're the most important.
One can only see what one observes, and one observes only things which are already in the mind.
Thomas Harris
A writer needs three things, experience, observation, and imagination, any two of which, at times any one of which, can supply the lack of the others.
William Faulkner
The more observing ones may have seen, but discerning people are usually discreet and often kind, for we usually bleed a little before we begin to discern.
Willa Cather
If you look at a map of Europe you will observe that Greece is a skeleton-like hand stretching its crooked fingers out into the Mediterranean Sea.
Will Durant
Accuracy of observation is the equivalent of accuracy of thinking.
Wallace Stevens
You can observe a lot just by watching.
Yogi Berra
“Indeed, I have found that it is usually in unimportant matters that there is a field for the observation.”
Arthur Conan Doyle
“Never trust to general impressions, my boy, but concentrate yourself upon details.”
“You see, but you do not observe.”
“The first thing you have to know is yourself. A man who knows himself can step outside himself and watch his own reactions like an observer.”
Adam Smith
"Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel."
Samuel Johnson
"In regard to the amount of difference between the races, we must make some allowance for our nice powers of discrimination gained by a long habit of observing ourselves."
Charles Darwin
"These observations tie in directly with the whole question of organizing. Why do we have leaders? We put some people out in the fields and all of a sudden they hit, they click. Everyone's happy with them and they begin to move mountains. With other people there are problems and heartaches. They just don't go. When we look and see what's happening, almost invariably the differences are along the lines of willingness to sacrifice and work long hours."
Cesar Chavez
"Resentment is the most precious flower of poverty."
Carson McCullers
"It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste."
Henry Ford
"Observation: I can't see a thing. Conclusion: Dinosaurs."
Carl Sagan
"Any observations from the Moon or a sense of realising this or that about the greater meaning of things wasn't as influential for me as the experience of coming back and dealing with being a person who's been to the Moon."
Buzz Aldrin
"Extraordinary observations require extraordinary evidence."
“Life is an art not to be learned by observation.”
George Santayana
