-- Sir John Lubbock

In this world we do not see things as they are. We see them as we are, because what we see depends on mainly what we are looking for.
-- Sir John Lubbock

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.
-- Sir John Lubbock

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
-- Sir John Lubbock
