Inanimate objects can be classified scientifically into three major categories; those that don't work, those that break down and those that get lost. Russell Baker
The mind is never satisfied with the objects immediately before it, but is always breaking away from the present moment, and losing itself in schemes of future felicity... The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure, but from hope to hope. Samuel Johnson
LOVE: A word properly applied to our delight in particular kinds of food; sometimes metaphorically spoken of the favorite objects of all our appetites. Henry Fielding
Arles is certainly one of the most interesting towns I have ever seen, whether viewed as a place remarkable for the objects of antiquity it contains, or for the primitive manners of its inhabitants and its picturesque appearance. Marguerite Gardiner
In all the sciences except Psychology we deal with objects and their changes, and leave out of account as far as possible the mind which observes them. Charles D. Broad
But unfortunately Locke treated ideas of reflection as if they were another class of objects of contemplation beside ideas of sensation. Samuel Alexander
In Psychology we deal with minds and their processes, and leave out of account as far as possible the objects that we get to know by means of them. Charles D. Broad
The steel workers have now buried their dead, while the widows weep and watch their orphaned children become objects of public charity. The murder of these unarmed men has never been publicly rebuked by any authoritative officer of the state or federal government. John L. Lewis
When we bring back with us the objects most dear, and find those we left unchanged, we are tempted to doubt the lapse of time; but one link in the chain of affection broken, and every thing seems altered. Marguerite Gardiner
It may be added, to prevent misunderstanding, that when I speak of contemplated objects in this last phrase as objects of contemplation, the act of contemplation itself is of course an enjoyment. Samuel Alexander
My style is where you see the individual and where a personality is communicated through actions, decisions, single objects and facts, where the whole draws together to form a history. Martin Kippenberger
In our judgment of human transactions, the law of optics is reversed; we see the most indistinctly the objects which are close around us. Richard Whately
I don't like things that can be reproduced. Wood isn't important in itself but rather in the fact that objects made in it are unique, simple, unpretentious.
Georg Baselitz
The Mach number is commonly used both with objects travelling at high speed in a fluid, and with high-speed fluid flows inside channels such as nozzles, diffusers or wind tunnels.
