Famous quotes containing the word purpose:

    “The very purpose of existence is to reconcile the glowing opinion we have of ourselves with the appalling things that other people think about us.”
    —Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

    “During the cattle drives, Texas cowboy music came into national significance. Its practical purpose is well known—it was used primarily to keep the herds quiet at night, for often a ballad sung loudly and continuously enough might prevent a stampede. However, the cowboy also sang because he liked to sing.... In this music of the range and trail is “the grayness of the prairies, the mournful minor note of a Texas norther, and a rhythm that fits the gait of the cowboy’s pony.””
    —Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “Rule of religion: purpose breathes even in dirt and stones.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
