Famous quotes containing the words main and/or event:

    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)

    Found a family, build a state,
    The pledged event is still the same:
    Matter in end will never abate
    His ancient brutal claim.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
