Famous quotes containing the words main and/or stand:
“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 watchs greatest accomplishment were not going wrong, unwound watches might be the best.”
—Franz Grillparzer (17911872)
“The world is a strange place for a playhouse to stand within it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
