Objects

Famous quotes containing the word objects:

    “If the Christ were content with humble toilers for disciples, that wasn’t good enough for our Bert. He wanted dukes’ half sisters and belted earls wiping his feet with their hair; grand apotheosis of the snob, to humiliate the objects of his own awe by making them venerate him.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    “The familiar material objects may not be all that is real, but they are admirable examples.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
