Indirect Object

Famous quotes containing the words indirect and/or object:

“An indirect quotation we can usually expect to rate only as better or worse, more or less faithful, and we cannot even hope for a strict standard of more and less; what is involved is evaluation, relative to special purposes, of an essentially dramatic act.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)

“I do not object to people looking at their watches when I am speaking. But I strongly object when they start shaking them to make certain they are still going.”
