Faintest Objects Observable

Famous quotes containing the words objects and/or observable:

    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)

    Every living language, like the perspiring bodies of living creatures, is in perpetual motion and alteration; some words go off, and become obsolete; others are taken in, and by degrees grow into common use; or the same word is inverted to a new sense or notion, which in tract of time makes an observable change in the air and features of a language, as age makes in the lines and mien of a face.
    Richard Bentley (1662–1742)
