“This is analogous to what is colloquially known as being punch drunk, ... We believe the microscopic changes in the brain are consistent with chronic traumatic encephalopathy or a degeneration over time that set the stage for the final result. The meningitis was not bacterial or viral or the kind you see in college dorms or army barracks.”
Cyril Wecht
“If we consider that all we deal with represents constantly changing sub-microscopic, interrelated processes which are not, and cannot be ‘identical with themselves’, the old dictum that ‘everything is identical with itself’ becomes in [today’s understanding of the universe] a principle invariably false to facts.”
Alfred Korzybski
“When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap.”
Cynthia Heimel
“Where the telescope ends, the microscope begins. Which of the two has the grander view?”
Victor Hugo
“The modern nose, like the modern eye, has developed a sort of microscopic, intercellular intensity which makes our human contacts painful and revolting”
Marshall McLuhan
“Well, I'm a bacteriologist, you know. I live in a nine-hundred-diameter microscope. I can hardly claim to take serious notice of anything that I can see with my naked eye.”
Arthur Conan Doyle Sr.
“He submits to be seen through a microscope, who suffers himself to be caught in a fit of passion”
Johann Kaspar Lavater
