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

My mom is a science teacher in high school, and one of my brothers works in optics at Bell Labs, and so I was always surrounded by it.

Anthony Doerr

We designed a number of features from the ground up, like custom display and optics technology with very high refresh rates and pixel density. We added integrated 3-D audio, a built-in microphone so you can speak to friends inside virtual worlds, and precise mechanical adjustment systems.

Brendan Iribe

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

McMaster had an engineering physics program and... one of the parts of it was lasers and electro-optics and I just said, 'Now doesn't that sound cool. I just got to do that.'

Donna Strickland

If Monsieur X spent an eternity studying treatises on optics, he would never paint 'La Grande Jatte.'

Felix Feneon

In 'A Poetics of Optics,' Equi writes that 'all images bank on alchemy.' This idea captures her fundamental sense of poetry as turning common material into something rare and valuable.

Floyd Skloot

Phase contrast was not discovered while working with a microscope, but in a different part of optics.

Frits Zernike

When Hubble was launched, it became clear very shortly thereafter that there was a problem with the optics.The mirror was not quite the right shape. And the one program that I had really been looking forward to doing with Hubble was studying outer planets in our solar system, the planets Uranus and Neptune.

Heidi Hammel

In fiber optics, the cable is a light pipe or waveguide, into which you inject light. If a finger presses on the pipe, it disrupts that light within the waveguide.

Jefferson Han

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

But optics sharp it needs, I ween, To see what is not to be seen.

John Trumbull

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

It's great we have a female Thor. It's great we have a black Captain America. But those are just optics; it's optics of change... Unless you have the structural diversity, the structural change behind the scenes - more women, more people of color actually calling the shots and editing these books - those optics won't last.

Marjorie Liu

I think that first-person narration is very characteristic of contemporary optics, in which the individual performs the role of subjective center of the world.

Olga Tokarczuk

Optics, developing in us through study, teach us to see.

Paul Cezanne

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

Optics can drive an economy.

Shane Douglas

People always ask me: Is it the music? Is it the masks? No, it's all of it. It's Slipknot. It's the optics, it's the masks, it's the music, it's the performance, it's the records.

Shawn Crahan

When you lower the cost of access to space, a boom of innovation follows, just as low-cost fiber optics paved the way for the Internet and the cloud services that followed.
