Famous quotes containing the words purpose and/or screw:
“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)
“Prithee don’t screw your wit beyond the compass of good manners.”
—Colley Cibber (1671–1757)
