The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, a continual flight from wonder.
Albert Einstein
I shall the effect of this good lesson keeps as watchman to my heart.
William Shakespeare
In modern life nothing produces such an effect as a good platitude. It makes the whole world kin.
Oscar Wilde
Surrealism had a great effect on me because then I realised that the imagery in my mind wasn't insanity. Surrealism to me is reality.
John Lennon
Before the effect one believes in different causes than one does after the effect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Cause and effect are two sides of one fact.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.
Edgar Allan Poe
I am above the weakness of seeking to establish a sequence of cause and effect, between the disaster and the atrocity.
Edgar Allan Poe
I have, indeed, no abhorrence of danger, except in its absolute effect - in terror.
Edgar Allan Poe
Hate and force cannot be in just a part of the world without having an effect on the rest of it.
Eleanor Roosevelt
The little may contrast with the great, in painting, but cannot be said to be contrary to it. Oppositions of colors contrast; but there are also colors contrary to each other, that is, which produce an ill effect because they shock the eye when brought very near it.
Voltaire
The will is not free - it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect - but there is something behind the will which is free.
Swami Vivekananda
Music is either sacred or secular. The sacred agrees with its dignity, and here has its greatest effect on life, an effect that remains the same through all ages and epochs. Secular music should be cheerful throughout.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Genius is the ability to put into effect what is on your mind.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Declaration of Independence I always considered as a theatrical show. Jefferson ran away with all the stage effect of that... and all the glory of it.
John Adams
For an author to write as he speaks is just as reprehensible as the opposite fault, to speak as he writes; for this gives a pedantic effect to what he says, and at the same time makes him hardly intelligible.
Arthur Schopenhauer
If you want to know your true opinion of someone, watch the effect produced in you by the first sight of a letter from him.
Arthur Schopenhauer
To consider persons and events and situations only in the light of their effect upon myself is to live on the doorstep of hell.
Thomas Merton
The effect of liberty to individuals is that they may do what they please: we ought to see what it will please them to do, before we risk congratulations.
Edmund Burke
