“The universe as we know it is a joint product of the observer and the observed.”

“The universe as we know it is a joint product of the observer and the observed.Pierre Teilhard de Chardin”

“One’s lover is one’s partner in observing and understanding the world. Marriage is a place where joint narratives are composed. If the lover is a liar then all your joint observations are unreliable. You will have to start all over again.”

“So much depends on this observer of the universe.”

“It is a universal truth that no matter how well one knows a scene, to observe it from above is something of a revelation.”

“I believe the universe wants to be noticed. I think the universe is inprobably biased toward the consciousness, that it rewards intelligence in part because the universe enjoys its elegance being observed. And who am I, living in the middle of history, to tell the universe that it-or my observation of it-is temporary?”
