Optics Quotations
Optics, developing in us through study, teach us to see.
Paul Cezanne
Because I come from that old-school optics environment, I know stuff about depth of field and camera movement and things that are not necessarily a part of the curriculum for people who started on a box and have never done anything that wasn't on a box.
John Dykstra
The camera introduces us to unconscious optics as does psychoanalysis to unconscious impulses.
Walter Benjamin
In our judgment of human transactions, the law of optics is reversed; we see the most indistinctly the objects which are close around us.
Richard Whately
There is a new way with very very tiny fiber optics, which give an enormous high resolution. There are many many thousand fibers, very very close together with a very small diameter.
Lennart Nilsson
In things to be seen at once, much variety makes confusion, another vice of beauty. In things that are not seen at once, and have no respect one to another, great variety is commendable, provided this variety transgress not the rules of optics and geometry.
Christopher Wren
Music is the arithmetic of sounds as optics is the geometry of light.
Claude Debussy
But optics sharp it needs, I ween, To see what is not to be seen.
John Trumbull
