The Microscope

«Love looks through a telescope; envy, through a microscope.»
«Affection, like melancholy, magnifies trifles; but the magnifying of the one is like looking through a telescope at heavenly objects; that of the other, like enlarging monsters with a microscope.»

«MONAD, n. The ultimate, indivisible unit of matter. (See _Molecule_.) According to Leibnitz, as nearly as he seems willing to be understood, the monad has body without bulk, and mind without manifestation --Leibnitz knows him by the innate power of considering. He has founded upon him a theory of the universe, which the creature bears without resentment, for the monad is a gentlmean. Small as he is, the monad contains all the powers and possibilities needful to his evolution into a German philosopher of the first class --altogether a very capable little fellow. He is not to be confounded with the microbe, or bacillus; by its inability to discern him, a good microscope shows him to be of an entirely distinct species.»
«Taste is, so to speak, the microscope of the judgment»
«The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is.»
«A weak mind is like a microscope, which magnifies trifling things but cannot receive great ones»
«People in the media say they must look at the president with a microscope. Now, I don't mind a microscope, but boy, when they use a proctoscope, that's going too far.»
«Where the telescope ends, the microscope begins. Which of the two has the grander view?»
