Unique Initial Object

Famous quotes containing the words unique, initial and/or object:

    At this unique distance from isolation
    It becomes still more difficult to find
    Words at once true and kind,
    Or not untrue and not unkind.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    No punishment has ever possessed enough power of deterrence to prevent the commission of crimes. On the contrary, whatever the punishment, once a specific crime has appeared for the first time, its reappearance is more likely than its initial emergence could ever have been.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    Y’see it’s sort of a game with me. Its whole object is to prove that two plus two equals four. That seems to make sense, but you’d be surprised at the number of people who try to stretch it to five.
    Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)
