Famous quotes related to inanimate objects:

    The sceptics assert, though absurdly, that the origin of all religious worship was derived from the utility of inanimate objects, as the sun and moon, to the support and well-being of mankind.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    Inanimate objects are classified scientifically into three major categories—those that don’t work, those that break down and those that get lost.
    Russell Baker (b. 1925)
