If the opponent offers keen play I don't object; but in such cases I get less satisfaction, even if I win, than from a game conducted according to all the rules of strategy with its ruthless logic.
Anatoly Karpov

I especially object to having my character assassinated by reference to events from my past which bear absolutely no relationship to the question of who the anthrax killer is.
Steven Hatfill

I hardly need to abstract things, for each object is unreal enough already, so unreal that I can only make it real by means of painting.
Max Beckmann

The longer you look at an object, the more abstract it becomes, and, ironically, the more real.
Lucian Freud

For example, the equivalent of a woman being treated as a sex object is a man being treated as a success object.
Warren Farrell

With pop stars or film stars, we become the object of people's self-definition, as well as the object of sexual definition.
George Michael

'Educational' refers to the process, not the object. Although, come to think of it, some of my teachers could easily have been replaced by a cheeseburger.

The self has the characteristic that it is an object to itself, and that characteristic distinguishes it from other objects and from the body.
George H. Mead

The aura given out by a person or object is as much a part of them as their flesh.
Lucian Freud

If Art relates itself to an Object, it becomes descriptive, divisionist, literary.
Robert Delaunay

Katherine Dunn

The message here is you cannot, under any circumstances, throw an object at an official. You just cannot do it.
Stu Jackson

I object to a legal approach when settling questions of science or scientific behavior.
Serge Lang

For when it is the good that is under consideration, and the ethical object is predominant, truth must be considered more in reference to art than science, if, that is, unity is to be preserved in the work generally.
Friedrich Schleiermacher

It's a little bit late in the day for men to object that women are getting outside their proper sphere.
Marjory Stoneman Douglas

To unfold the secret laws and relations of those high faculties of thought by which all beyond the merely perceptive knowledge of the world and of ourselves is attained or matured, is a object which does not stand in need of commendation to a rational mind.
George Boole

The fundamental purpose of a novel like Count Julian is to achieve the unity of object and means of representation, the fusion of treason as scheme and treason as language.
Juan Goytisolo

And I might add the confidence with which distracted persons do oftentimes, when they are awake, think, they see black fiends in places, where there is no black object in sight without them.
Robert Boyle
