Persistent Object

Famous quotes containing the words persistent and/or object:

    “The passion of self-aggrandizement is persistent but plastic; it will never disappear from a vigorous mind, but may become morally higher by attaching itself to a larger conception of what constitutes the self.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “Thy hatred for this misery befallen;
    On me already lost, me than thyself
    More miserable. Both have sinned, but thou
    Against God only; I against God and thee,
    And to the place of judgment will return,
    There with my cries importune Heaven, that all
    The sentence, from thy head removed, may light
    On me, sole cause to thee of all this woe,
    Me, me only, just object of his ire.””
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
