Text Quotes
Fame and power are the objects of all men. Even their partial fruition is gained by very few; and that, too, at the expense of social pleasure, health, conscience, life  (Objects Quotes) Poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar  (Objects Quotes) The immediacy of mystic experience simply means that we know God just as we know other objects. God is not a mathematical entity or a system of concepts mutually related to one another and having no reference to experience  (Objects Quotes) LOVE: A word properly applied to our delight in particular kinds of food; sometimes metaphorically spoken of the favorite objects of all our appetites  (Objects Quotes) There is a very remarkable inclination in human nature to bestow on external objects the same emotions which it observes in itself, and to find every where those ideas which are most present to it  (Objects Quotes) All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by it's mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it  (Objects Quotes) What is important, then, is not that the critic should possess a correct abstract definition of beauty for the intellect, but a certain kind of temperament, the power of being deeply moved by the presence of beautiful objects  (Objects Quotes) The rights of persons, and the rights of property, are the objects, for the protection of which Government was instituted  (Objects Quotes) What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life  (Objects Quotes) Even by common wisdom, there seem to be both people and objects in my dream that are outside myself, but clearly they were created in myself and are part of me, they are mental constructs in my own brain  (Objects Quotes) It is a misfortune that necessity has induced men to accord greater license to this formidable engine, in order to obtain liberty, than can be borne with less important objects in view; for the press, like fire, is an excellent servant, but a terrible master  (Objects Quotes) For many ages it has been allowed by sensible men, nihil est in intellectu quod non fuit prius in sensu: That is, there is nothing in the understanding which was not first perceived by some of the senses. All the knowledge which we naturally have is originally derived from our senses. And therefore those who want any sense cannot have the least knowledge or idea of the objects of that sense; as they that never had sight have not the least knowledge or conception of light or colours  (Objects Quotes) People are always wondering if I am an artist or political activist or politician. Maybe I'll just clearly tell you: Whatever I do is not art. Let's say it is just objects or materials, movies or writing, but not art, OK?  (Objects Quotes) The ends of scientific classification are best answered, when the objects are formed into groups respecting which a greater number of general propositions can be made, and those propositions more important, than could be made respecting any other groups into which the same things could be distributed.... A classification thus formed is properly scientific or philosophical, and is commonly called a Natural, in contradistinction to a Technical or Artificial, classification or arrangement  (Objects Quotes) The opening of a foreign trade, by making them acquainted with new objects, or tempting them by the easier acquisition of things which they had not previously thought attainable, sometimes works a sort of industrial revolution in a country whose resources were previously undeveloped for want of energy and ambition in the people: inducing those who were satisfied with scanty comforts and little work, to work harder for the gratification of their new tastes, and even to save, and accumulate capital, for the still more complete satisfaction of those tastes at a future time  (Objects Quotes) Each substance of a grief hath twenty shadows, which shows like grief itself, but is not so; for sorrow's eye, glazed with blinding tears, divides one thing entire to many objects, like perspectives, which rightly gazed upon, show nothing but confusion eyed awry, distinguish form  (Objects Quotes) It is only framed in space that beauty blooms; only in space are events, and objects and people unique and significant and therefore beautiful  (Objects Quotes) He whom common, gross, or stale objects allure, and when obtained, content, is a vulgar being, incapable of greatness in thought or action  (Objects Quotes) The objects of avarice and ambition differ only in their greatness. A miser is as furious about a halfpenny as the man of ambition about the conquest of a kingdom  (Objects Quotes) There are two functions of the soul, contemplation and practice, according to the general division of objects; some of which only entertain our speculations, other employ our actions  (Objects Quotes) Does not vanity itself cease to be blamable, is it not even ennobled, when it is directed to laudable objects, when it confines itself to prompting us to great and generous actions?  (Objects Quotes) A true friend embraces our objects as his own. We feel another mind bent on the same end, enjoying it, ensuring it, reflecting it, and delighting in our devotion to it  (Objects Quotes) We pass by common objects or persons without noticing them; but the keen eye detects and notes types everywhere and among all classes  (Objects Quotes) Oh! The joy of young ideas painted on the mind, in the warm glowing colors fancy spreads on objects not yet known, when all is new, and all is lovely  (Objects Quotes) In our judgment of human transactions, the law of optics is reversed; we see the most indistinctly the objects which are close around us  (Objects Quotes) Every man hath a general desire of his own happiness; and likewise a variety of particular affections, passions, and appetites to particular external objects  (Objects Quotes) Happiness or satisfaction consists only in the enjoyment of those objects which are by nature suited to our several particular appetites, passions, and affections  (Objects Quotes) No man is the wiser for his learning; it may administer matter to work in, or objects to work upon; but wit and wisdom are born with a man  (Objects Quotes) Girls marry for love. Boys marry because of a chronic irritation that causes them to gravitate in the direction of objects with certain curvilinear properties  (Objects Quotes) Art is the production of objects for consumption, to be used and discarded while waiting for a new world in which man will have succeeded in freeing himself of everything, even of his own consciousness  (Objects Quotes)
