Edward Abbey
Image
He that contemplates hath a day without night.
George Herbert
Image
One of my favorite cartoon characters is Snoopy. I love the way he sits and lies on his kennel and contemplates the great things of life.
Jackie Tabick
Image
Beauty, the splendour of truth, is a gracious presence when the imagination contemplates intensely the truth of its own being or the visible world, and the spirit which proceeds out of truth and beauty is the holy spirit of joy. These are realities and these alone give and sustain life.
James Joyce
Image
Man is constituted as a speculative being he contemplates the world, and the objects around him, not with a passive indifferent eye, but as a system disposed with order and design.
John Herschel
Image
Logic works, metaphysics contemplates.
Joseph Joubert
Image
And that which sings and contemplates in you is still dwelling within the bounds of that first moment which scattered the stars into space.
Khalil Gibran

Narrow The heart that loves, the brain that contemplates, The life that wears, the spirit that creates One object, and one form, and builds thereby A sepulchre for its eternity.
Percy Bysshe Shelley

In truth, to know oneself seems to be the hardest of all things. Not only our eye, which observes external objects, does not use the sense of sight upon itself, but even our mind, which contemplates intently another's sin, is slow in the recognition of its own defects.
Saint Basil
Image
Inanimate objects sometimes appear endowed with a strange power of sight. A statue notices, a tower watches, the face of an edifice contemplates.
Victor Hugo
Image
The man who contemplates the universe with his eyes wide open is the man with the greatest amount of natural piety not in the religious sense, but in the sense of an intimate harmony with things.
Adolf Hitler
Image
Man is the only animal that contemplates death, and also the only animal that shows any sign of doubt of its finality.

One cannot help but be in awe when [one] contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality.
Albert Einstein
Image
A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Image
The world appears very little to a soul that contemplates the greatness of God.
Brother Lawrence
Image
He that will often put eternity and the world before him, and who will dare to look steadfastly at both of them, will find that the more often he contemplates them, the former will grow greater, and the latter less.
Charles Caleb Colton
Image
He that borrows the aid of an equal understanding doubles his own he that uses that of a superior elevates his own to the stature of that he contemplates.
Edmund Burke
Image
A man who contemplates revenge keeps his wounds green.
Francis Bacon
Image
A man may daydream of how he would spend a million dollars, but playing the same game with a billion dollars sours the fantasy. There are too many possibilities. The house he once wished for with all his heart is suddenly too small. The travel, too cheap. He wanted to visit an island. Now he contemplates buying one.
Holly Black
Image
The Christian religion alone contemplates the conjugal union in the order of nature it is the only religion which presents woman to man as a companion every other abandons her to him as a slave. To religion alone do European women owe their liberty.
Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre

Joy is a quiet gladness of heart as one contemplates the goodness of God's saving grace in Christ Jesus.
John Calvin
Image
The good author is he who contemplates without marked joy or excessive sorrow the adventures of his soul amongst criticisms.

Image
Truth sees God, and wisdom contemplates God, and from these two comes a third, a holy and wonderful delight in God, who is love.
Julian of Norwich
