In this state of absorbed contemplation, there is no longer any question of holding an object in view; the vision is such that seeing and seen are one; object and act of vision have become identical (Contemplation Quotes)
Then the soul, freed from vice, purged by studies of true philosophy, versed in spiritual life, and practised in matters of the intellect, devoted to the contemplation of her own substance, as if awakened from deepest sleep, opens those eyes which all possess but few use, and sees in herself a ray of that light which is the true image of the angelic beauty communicated to her, and of which she then communicates a faint shadow to the body (Contemplation Quotes)

...the physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations; for, he himself knows best, and feels more surely where the shoe pinches...Physical conceptions are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world (Contemplation Quotes)
I benefit from contemplation, but it’s a great antidote to that, having someone interesting come into the studio environment to be painted, so that I can experience a little bit of their world (Contemplation Quotes)
In the contemplation of beauty we are raised above ourselves, the passions are silenced and we are happy in the recognition of a good that we do not seek to possess (Contemplation Quotes)
Acts which are essentially dishonourable must not be done; they would be justified only by calm contemplation of their correctness in abstract cases (Contemplation Quotes)
Politicians are addicted to spending and revenue extraction. As with an addict, there’s little pause for moral or legal contemplation (Contemplation Quotes)
So in life, some enter the services of fame and others money, but the best choice is that of those few who spend their time in the contemplation of nature, and as lovers of wisdom (Contemplation Quotes)
Leaving behind the false, return to the true: make no discriminations between self and others. In contemplation, one’s mind should be stable and unmoving, like a wall (Contemplation Quotes)
Childhood is only the beautiful and happy time in contemplation and retrospect: to the child it is full of deep sorrows, the meaning of which is unknown (Contemplation Quotes)
Probably the undertaker thinks less of death than almost any other man. He is so accustomed to it that his mind must involuntarily turn from its horror to a contemplation of how much he makes out of the burial (Contemplation Quotes)
That virtue therefore which is but a youngling in the contemplation of evil, and knows not the utmost that vice promises to her followers, and rejects it, is but a blank virtue, not a pure; her whiteness is but an excremental whiteness (Contemplation Quotes)
God deliver me from people who are so spiritual that they want to turn everything into perfect contemplation, come what may (Contemplation Quotes)
There is nothing so depressing as a constant contemplation of one’s self, and the greatest moral cowardice in the world’s opinion comes from consulting one’s own personal convenience (Contemplation Quotes)
The most deeply moving element in the contemplation of beauty is the element of loss. We desire to hold; but the sunset melts into the night, and the secret of the painting on the wall can never be the secret of the buyer (Contemplation Quotes)
I just want fiction to remain a vital force for entertainment and not just for contemplation. Both things can exist (Contemplation Quotes)
The fact is, that civilization requires slaves. Unless there are slaves to do the ugly, horrible, uninteresting work, culture and contemplation become almost impossible (Contemplation Quotes)
Magic comprises the most profound contemplation of the most secret things, their nature, power, quality, substance, and virtues, as well as the knowledge of their whole nature (Contemplation Quotes)
The law of flying was not discovered by the contemplation of things staying on the ground (Contemplation Quotes)
Taste is only to be educated by contemplation, not of the tolerably good but of the truly excellent (Contemplation Quotes)
Woman, nude, is the blue sky. Clouds and garments are an obstacle to contemplation. Beauty and infinity would be gazed upon unveiled (Contemplation Quotes)
What is addressed to us for contemplation does not threaten us, but makes us intellectual beings (Contemplation Quotes)
Every discourse is an approximate answer: but it is of small consequence, that we do not get it into verbs and nouns, whilst it abides for contemplation forever (Contemplation Quotes)
One can hardly imagine a more healthful employment, or one more favorable to contemplation and the observation of nature (Contemplation Quotes)
Woman... is the divine object, violated, endlessly sacrificed yet always reborn, whose only joy, achieved through a subtle interplay of images, lies in contemplation of herself (Contemplation Quotes)
Have a sense of piety ever on your mind, and be ever mindful that this is subject to no change, but will last you as long as life and support you in death. Elevate your soul by prayer and by contemplation without mystical enthusiasm (Contemplation Quotes)
How much more intense is the excitement wrought in the feelings of a crowd by the contemplation of human agony, than that brought about by the most appalling spectacles of inanimate matter (Contemplation Quotes)
That pleasure which is at once the most pure, the most elevating and the most intense, is derived, I maintain, from the contemplation of the beautiful (Contemplation Quotes)
He had read much, if one considers his long life; but his contemplation was much more than his reading. He was won’t to say that if he had read as much as other men he should have known no more than other men (Contemplation Quotes)
