I am not a political person. My involvement in the Free Speech Movement is religious and moral... I don't know what made me get up and give that first speech. I only know I had to. What was it Kierkegaard said about free acts? They're the ones that, looking back, you realize you couldn't help doing. (Mario Savio)
Reading in the third millennium B. C. may therefore have been a matter of hearing the cuneiform, that is, hallucinating the speech from looking at its picture symbols, rather than visual reading of syllables in our sense. View quote
Julian Jaynes
My notion about any artist is that we honor him best by reading him, by playing his music, by seeing his plays or by looking at his pictures. We don't need to fall all over ourselves with adjectives and epithets. Let's play him more. View quote
Jacques Barzun
He stepped down, avoiding any long look at her as one avoids long looks at the sun, but seeing her as one sees the sun, without looking. View quote
Leo Tolstoy
He stepped down, trying not to look long at her, as if she were the sun, yet he saw her, like the sun, even without looking. View quote
Leo Tolstoy
There are eight girls in the house in which I am living, and practically all of them are good looking. You can realize that I am kept busy. View quote

When the Jew says "mankind" he is talking about himself. It is written in the Talmud, that only Jews were human beings, gentiles on the other hand were animals created to serve the chosen people. If looking back and comparing the corresponding articles in the "democratic" and "neutral" countries, one is astonished at the systematic nature of the propaganda whose final goal was the creation of a state of affairs in which a war was inevitable.

Julius Streicher
Could the search for ultimate truth really have revealed so hideous and visceral looking an object? View quote
Max Perutz
This is a weird feeling in my life I have to deal with, not being a violent man anymore when my whole life's reputation was built on being extremely violent. I just don't know how to deal with that right now. I don't even go to strip clubs no more. I don't know who I am sometimes, but I am not the guy I used to be. I'm not an angel or anything. I'm still lascivious, periodically. I'm just looking for some balance in my life. View quote
Mike Tyson
What's really important in life? Sitting on a beach? Looking at television eight hours a day? I think we have to appreciate that we're alive for only a limited period of time, and we'll spend most of our lives working. (Victor Kiam)
Try looking into that place where you dare not look! You'll find me there, staring out at you! View quote
Frank Herbert
They looking back, all th' Eastern side beheld Of Paradise, so late thir happie seat, Wav'd over by that flaming Brand, the Gate With dreadful Faces throng'd and fierie Armes: Som natural tears they drop'd, but wip'd them soon; The World was all before them, where to choose Thir place of rest, and Providence thir guide: They hand in hand with wandring steps and slow, Through EDEN took thir solitarie way. View quote
John Milton
Instead of looking on discussion as a stumbling block in the way of action, we think it an indispensable preliminary to any wise action at all. View quote
Pericles
Looking back on the long-stretched-out body of one's work, it is interesting to mark the endless duel fought within a man between the emotional and critical sides of his nature, first one, then the other, getting the upper hand, and too seldom fusing till the result has the mellowness of full achievement. One can even tell the nature of one's readers, by their preference for the work which reveals more of this side than of that. View quote
John Galsworthy
And looking to the Heaven, that bends above you, How oft! I bless the Lot, that made me love you. View quote
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
If the use of leisure time is confined to looking at TV for a few extra hours every day, we will deteriorate as a people. View quote
Eleanor Roosevelt
You'll never find rainbows, If you're looking down... View quote
Charlie Chaplin
Mankind always sets itself only such tasks as it can solve since, looking at the matter more closely, we will always find that the task itself arises only when the material conditions necessary for its solution already exist or are at least in the process of formation. View quote
Karl Marx
A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you. View quote
C. S. Lewis
You can put this another way by saying that while in other sciences the instruments you use are things external to yourself (things like microscopes and telescopes), the instrument through which you see God is your whole self. And if a man's self is not kept clean and bright, his glimpse of God will be blurred-like the Moon seen through a dirty telescope. That is why horrible nations have horrible religions: they have been looking at God through a dirty lens. (C. S. Lewis)
Looking back to data, we can see if the consequences are plausible; looking forward to theory, we can see if general principles are suggested. View quote
John Henry Holland
Yes, if you're looking for infinity, just close your eyes! View quote

Laozi
Looking back on things, the view always improves. View quote
Walt Kelly
