Famous quotes containing the words purpose and/or built:
“Whoever considers morality the main objective of human existence, seems to me like a person who defines the purpose of a clock as not going wrong. The first objective for a clock, is, however, that it does run; not going wrong is an additional regulative function. If not a watch’s greatest accomplishment were not going wrong, unwound watches might be the best.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“Let us wander where we will, the universe is built round about us, and we are central still.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
