Famous quotes containing the word main:

    “Whoever considers morality the main objective of human existence, seems to me like a person who defines the purpose of a clock as not going wrong. The first objective for a clock, is, however, that it does run; not going wrong is an additional regulative function. If not a watch’s greatest accomplishment were not going wrong, unwound watches might be the best.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

    “Man’s main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality.”
    —Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
