The observer, when he seems to himself to be observing a stone, is really, if physics is to be believed, observing the effects of the stone upon himself. Bertrand Russell
Ultramicroscopes are used in the study of Brownian motion, in the Millikan droplet experiment for measuring the electric charge of the electron, and in observing ionization tracks in cloud chambers.
Watching baseball under the lights is like observing dogs indoors, at a pedigree show. In both instances, the environment is too controlled to suit the species. Melvin Maddocks
We are determined that our nation shall cease to be a burden on other countries but shall contribute positively to world prosperity, while observing fully the fair trade practices in international commerce. Shigeru Yoshida
