is a process beginning with a blank mind, forming no theories, and then observes, drawing inferences from one's observations.

Let me run over the principal steps. We approached the case, you remember, with an absolutely blank mind, which is always an advantage. We had formed no theories. We were simply there to observe and to draw inferences from our observations. Arthur Conan Doyle

is an active orientation in life that some people never engage in life just happens to them.

I don't think it's quite that simple. Some people never observe anything, Life just happens to them. They get by on little more than a kind of dumb persistence, and they resist with anger and resentment anything that might lift them out of that false serenity. Frank Herbert

is an art. One can observe a lot by just watching.

You can observe a lot by just watching. Yogi Berra

is a way to uncover the obvious, for the world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.

The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes. Arthur Conan Doyle

is not direct. When one seems to oneself to be observing a stone, one is really observing the effects of the stone upon him.

The observer, when he seems to himself to be observing a stone, is really, if physics is to be believed, observing the effects of the stone upon himself. Bertrand Russell

is that in which consciousness comes to know what things are, but also that in which we come to know what consciousness itself is.

Consciousness, in this observational activity, comes to know what things are... but we come to know what consciousness itselfis. The outcome ofits movement will be that what consciousness is in itself will become explicit for it. (hegel 'phenomenology' 147)
