Famous quotes containing the word purposes:

    “The new always happens against the overwhelming odds of statistical laws and their probability, which for all practical, everyday purposes amounts to certainty; the new therefore always appears in the guise of a miracle.”
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    “I have been reporting club meetings for four years and I am tired of hearing reviews of the books I was brought up on. I am tired of amateur performances at occasions announced to be for purposes either of enjoyment or improvement. I am tired of suffering under the pretense of acquiring culture. I am tired of hearing the word “culture” used so wantonly. I am tired of essays that let no guilty author escape quotation.”
    —Josephine Woodward, U.S. author. As quoted in Everyone Was Brave, ch. 3, by William L. O’Neill (1969)

    “O, I am smitten with a hatchet’s jaw;
    And that in deed and not in word alone.
    chorus: I thought I heard a sound within the house
    Unlike the voice of one that jumps for joy.
    He splits my skull, not in a friendly way,
    Once more: he purposes to kill me dead”
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
