Object Present

Famous quotes containing the words object and/or present:

“In the one instance, the dreamer ... loses sight of this object in a wilderness of deductions and suggestions ... until ... he finds the incitamentum, or first cause of his musings,... forgotten.

—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

“I am tired of a life of contention, and of being the personal object for the hatred of every man, who hates the present state of things.”
