In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! - I hope I'll be safe at home!
There is no object on earth which cannot be looked at from a cosmic point of view.
Distress at losing an object can be as much a frustration at the intellectual mystery of the disappearance as about the loss itself.
The absence of effective State, and, especially, national, restraint upon unfair money-getting has tended to create a small class of enormously wealthy and economically powerful men, whose chief object is to hold and increase their power. The prime need is to change the conditions which enable these men to accumulate power which is not for the general welfare that they should hold or exercise. We grudge no man a fortune which represents his own power and sagacity, when exercised with entire regard to the welfare of his fellows.
Morality is the object of government.
The militia is our ultimate safety. We can have no security without it. The great object is that every man be armed.
The noblest relationship is marriage, that is, love. Its nobility resides in its altruism, the desire to serve another beyond all the pleasures of the relationship; and in its refusal ever to regard the other as a thing, an object, a utilizability. Sex is an exchange of pleasures, of needs; love is a giving without return. It is this giving without return, this helping without reward, this surplus of pure good, that identifies the uniqueness of man as well as the true nature of the true marriage. This is the quintessence the great alchemy of sex is for.
I'm far too middle-class to morally object to a paying job.
A movie star is not an artist, he is an art object.
Unselfish love does not exploit its object and it does not ask for anything in return.
I object to the hypersexualization of all the superheroines. Most of them have been hypersexualized, but especially to Wonder Woman, because she is an icon. She is up there with Superman and Batman. And she is the one who is the big influence on women. Women who don't read comics still know who Wonder Woman is.
Early on I was very involved with the notion of the painting as an object and tended to attack that idea from different directions.
I want women to be the subject, not the object.
I find it ridiculous to assign a gender to an inanimate object incapable of disrobing and making an occasional fool of itself.
Grown-up people seem to be busy by clockwork. . . They run their unswerving course from object to object, directed by some mysterious inner needle that points all the time to what they must do next. You can only marvel at such misuse of time.
Victory is the main object in war.
We have traditionally thought of knowing in terms of subject and object and have struggled to attain objectivity by detaching our subjectivity. It can't be done, and one of the achievements of postmodernity is to demonstrate that. What we are called to, and what in the resurrection we are equipped for, is a knowing in which we are involved as subjects but as self-giving, not as self-seeking, subjects: in other words, a knowing that is a form of love.
What is more humiliating than finding the object of your love unworthy?
It sometimes is a disadvantage to be so very guarded. If a woman conceals her affection from the object of it, she may loose the opportunity of fixing him.
To be the object of somebody's obsession is a really awful feeling when you can't return it.
