Real Object

Famous quotes containing the words real and/or object:

“stop the darkness and its amputations
and find the real McCoy
in the private holiness
of my hands.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“When much intercourse with a friend has supplied us with a standard of excellence, and has increased our respect for the resources of God who thus sends a real person to outgo our ideal; when he has, moreover, become an object of thought, and, whilst his character retains all its unconscious effect, is converted in the mind into solid and sweet wisdom,—it is a sign to us that his office is closing, and he is commonly withdrawn from our sight in a short time.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
