Objectively Defined Laws

Famous quotes containing the words objectively, defined and/or laws:

    The creative artist seems to be almost the only kind of man that you could never meet on neutral ground. You can only meet him as an artist. He sees nothing objectively because his own ego is always in the foreground of every picture.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    An act of God was defined as “something which no reasonable man could have expected.”
    —A.P. (Sir Alan Patrick)

    Laws and customs may be creative of vice; and should be therefore perpetually under process of observation and correction: but laws and customs cannot be creative of virtue: they may encourage and help to preserve it; but they cannot originate it.
    Harriet Martineau (1802–1876)
