Purpose Built

Famous quotes containing the words purpose and/or built:

    And the purpose of the many stops and starts will be made clear:
    Backing into the old affair of not wanting to grow
    Into the night, which becomes a house, a parting of the ways
    Taking us far into sleep. A dumb love.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Practically everyone now bemoans Western man’s sense of alienation, lack of community, and inability to find ways of organizing society for human ends. We have reached the end of the road that is built on the set of traits held out for male identity—advance at any cost, pay any price, drive out all competitors, and kill them if necessary.
    Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
