Observation

Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking.

—H. L. Mencken

The man who sees two or three generations is like one who sits in the conjuror's booth at a fair and sees the tricks two or three times. They are meant to be seen only once.

—Arthur Schopenhauer

A writer should write with his eyes and a painter paint with his ears.

—Gertrude Stein
