Perfect Passive

Famous quotes containing the words perfect and/or passive:

    till disproportion’d sin
    Jarr’d against natures chime, and with harsh din
    Broke the fair musick that all creatures made
    To their great Lord, whose love their motion sway’d
    In perfect Diapason, whilst they stood
    In first obedience, and their state of good.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    To make oneself an object, to make oneself passive, is a very different thing from being a passive object.
