“You are adorable, mademoiselle. I study your feet with the microscope and your soul with the telescope.”

“You can't photograph the hugest mysteries of the universe that really have nothing to do with what shows up before your eyes, under a microscope, through a telescope, in the pages of books.”

“Microscopic Vs Telescopic vision-When you like someone you see him through a telescope, meaning you don’t see his minor faults and look only the brighter side of the person. On the other hand the person whom you hate is seen by microscope. His minor faults are amplified. This gives a distorted picture of the personality. For example you do not know how many germs are on your hand now. You feel that it is clean. But if you see through a microscope you will find many germs and then you will bad about your hand, the same hand which you think is clean. You wash it by soap but still some remains.”

“Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope.”

“The telescope makes the world smaller; it is only the microscope that makes it larger. Before long the world will be cloven with a war between the telescopists and the microscopists. The first study large things and live in a small world; the second study small things and live in a large world.”

“Nature composes some of her loveliest poems for the microscope and the telescope.”
