Always regard every man as an end in himself, and never use him merely as a means to your ends [i. e. , respect that each person has a life and purpose that is their own; do not treat people as objects to be exploited].
I admire the artists that work everyday to attest things for themselves. . . In the act of transforming the objects of the everyday they transform the passage of time and analyze the economics and politics of the instruments of living.
Mathematicians do not deal in objects, but in relations between objects; thus, they are free to replace some objects by others so long as the relations remain unchanged. Content to them is irrelevant: they are interested in form only.
. . . all education must be unsound which does not propose for itself some object; and the highest of all objects must be that of living a life in accordance with God's Will.
The one and only formative power given to man Is thought. By his thinking he not only makes character, but body and affairs, for as he thinketh within himself, so is he. Prejudice is a mist, which in our journey through the world often dims the brightest and obscures the best of all the good and glorious objects that meet us on our way.
We do not see and estimate the relative importance of objects so easily and clearly from the level or the waving land as from the elevation of a lone peak, towering above the plain; for each looks through his own mist.
Our willingness to wait reveals the value we place on the object we're waiting for.
The true worth of a man is to be measured by the objects he pursues.
Oh each successive night that comes has something in it of an abandoned ember that is slowly burning out, and it falls swathed in ruins, surrounded by funereal objects.
My object is to mystify and entertain. I wouldn't deceive you for the world.
I think women have always been considered objects, especially in the genre of westerns.
I do have a tendency to invest inanimate objects with human qualities.
People who need to possess the physical copy of a book, and not merely an electronic version, are in some sense mysteics. We believe that the objects themselves are sacred, not just the stories they tell. We believe that books possess the power to transubstantiate, to turn darkness into light, to make being out of nothingness.
It is not the strength of your faith but the object of your faith that actually saves you.
. . . the object of learning was not to build a better mousetrap but to ask a better question.
I tell you the truth, any object you have in your mind, however good, will be a barrier between you and the inmost Truth.
I rather incline towards 'conceptualism', in line with my view of colour perception - I don't think that we can represent objects and properties for which we have no concepts, not even in perceptual experience. In this sense I differ from those who defend 'non-conceptual content' like Michael Tye and Chris Peacocke.
Anything can be art. Art is the relations between relations, not the relations between objects.
That attitude toward women as objects may have worked for the late Sixties, but it doesn't do so now.
I'm not at all interested in painting the object just as it is in nature. Certainly I'm much more interested in the mood of a thing than the truth of a thing.
