Famous quotes containing the word purpose:

    In those days, when my hands were much employed, I read but little, but the least scraps of paper which lay on the ground, my holder, or tablecloth, afforded me as much entertainment, in fact answered the same purpose as the Iliad.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Since I do purpose to marry, I will think nothing to any purpose that
    the world can say against it; and therefore never flout at me for what I have said against it; for man is a giddy thing, and this is my conclusion.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Any historian of the literature of the modern age will take virtually for granted the adversary intention, the actually subversive intention, that characterizes modern writing—he will perceive its clear purpose of detaching the reader from the habits of thought and feeling that the larger culture imposes, of giving him a ground and a vantage point from which to judge and condemn, and perhaps revise, the culture that produces him.
    Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
