Famous quotes containing the words hunt and/or objects:

    In communist society, where nobody has one exclusive sphere of activity but each can become accomplished in any branch he wishes, society regulates the general production and thus makes it possible for me to do one thing today and another tomorrow, to hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticize after dinner, just as I have a mind, without ever becoming hunter, fisherman, shepherd or critic.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    We are thus assisted by natural objects in the expression of particular meanings. But how great a language to convey such pepper-corn informations!
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
