The Object

Famous quotes containing the word object:

    “The almighty dollar, that great object of universal devotion.”
    —Washington Irving (1783–1859)

    “Perchance the time will come when every house even will have not only its sleeping-rooms, and dining-room, and talking-room or parlor, but its thinking-room also, and the architects will put it into their plans. Let it be furnished and ornamented with whatever conduces to serious and creative thought. I should not object to the holy water, or any other simple symbol, if it were consecrated by the imagination of the worshipers.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
