SEEING QUOTES IV

quotations about seeing

Sometimes seeing everything just gets in the way.

CHRIS LYNCH

Angry Young Men


Every time I see the sun rise
Or a mountain that's so high
Just by seeing is believing
I don't need to question why
When I see a mighty ocean
That rushes to the shore
If I ever had cause to doubt Him
I don't doubt Him anymore

ELVIS PRESLEY

"Seeing Is Believing"


Most people think of "seeing" and "observing" directly with their senses. But for physicists, these words refer to much more indirect measurements involving a train of theoretical logic by which we can interpret what is "seen."

We look, look, look perpetually while awake, yet few see half they look at.... How many of us have passed along a street or been anywhere ninety-nine times without seeing something always there, which we saw the hundredth time. Our eyes, too, have rested on it, yet we have not noticed it. Or even if we have, we barely observed its existence, whereas many curious things about it escaped cognizance.

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you

BILLIE HOLIDAY

"I'll Be Seeing You"


Knowing it and seeing it are two different things.

Men often perform the physical part of seeing without the mental -- often direct their eyes at persons and things without exercising individuality in connection.
