Famous quotes containing the word purpose:
“Men may construe things after their fashion,
Clean from the purpose of the things themselves.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)

Backing into the old affair of not wanting to grow
Into the night, which becomes a house, a parting of the ways
Taking us far into sleep. A dumb love.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“Politics should share one purpose with religion: the steady emancipation of the individual through the education of his passions.”
