Famous quotes containing the words objects and/or called:

    “It is an inexpressible Pleasure to know a little of the World, and be of no Character or Significancy in it. To be ever unconcerned, and ever looking on new Objects with an endless Curiosity, is a Delight known only to those who are turned for Speculation: Nay, they who enjoy it, must value things only as they are the Objects of Speculation, without drawing any worldly Advantage to themselves from them, but just as they are what contribute to their Amusement, or the Improvement of the Mind.”
    —Richard Steele (1672–1729)

    “There was a young lady called Maud,
    A sort of society fraud.
    In the parlor, ‘tis told,
    She was distant and cold,
    But on the verandah, my Gawd!”
    —Anonymous.
