"Someone told me that life is a collection of details you choose to pay
attention to. Most of my life has been taken up by my work, but since my
work has always been about observing nature, I consider my life’s work all
about paying attention. This is what I told my students: The world is to be
observed, and observing for its own sake is a life worth living."

''I think it’s okay to tell a woman she’s beautiful once a year. Any more than
that and her life will be about being beautiful, entirely. Anything less and
she’ll feel a lack of love and attention. My wife always said I never told her
she was beautiful enough. But like I said, I don’t think it’s good for women.''
