Famous quotes containing the words purpose, intent and/or proposition:

    Art for art’s sake, with no purpose, for any purpose perverts art. But art achieves a purpose which is not its own.
    Benjamin Constant (1767–1834)

    The fact that white people readily and proudly call themselves “white,” glorify all that is white, and whitewash all that is glorified, becomes unnatural and bigoted in its intent only when these same whites deny persons of African heritage who are Black the natural and inalienable right to readily—proudly—call themselves “black,” glorify all that is black, and blackwash all that is glorified.
    Abbey Lincoln (b. 1930)

    We criticize a thinker more acutely when he advances a proposition that is disagreeable to us; and yet it would be more reasonable to do so when his proposition is agreeable to us.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
