Carlyle said that how to observe was to look, but I say that it is rather to see, and the more you look the less you will observe.

We must look a long time before we can see

The question is not what you look at--but how you look, and whether you see.

You know about a person who deeply interests you more than you can be told. A look, a gesture, an act, which to everybody else is insignificant tells you more about that one than words can.

It is as hard to see one's self as to look backwards without turning around.

"Hear! hear!" screamed the jay from a neighboring tree, where I had heard a tittering for some time, "winter has a concentrated and nutty kernel, if you know where to look for it."

It's the beauty within us that makes it possible for us to recognize the beauty around us. The question is not what you look at but what you see.

Why look in the dark for light?

I look upon England today as an old gentleman who is travelling with a great deal of baggage, trumpery which has accumulated fromlong housekeeping, which he has not the courage to burn.
