Quotes About Object

The care of human life and happiness and not their destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good government.

Indeed, that pleasure does not exist, isolated and formulated in the consciousness, as the ultimate object with which one seeks a woman's company, or as the cause of the uneasiness which, in anticipation, one then feels.

Pleasure in this respect is like photography. What we take, in the presence of the beloved object, is merely a negative, which we develop later, when we are back at home, and have once again found at our disposal that inner dark-room the entrance to which is barred to us so long as we are with other people.

The past lies hidden beyond the mind's realm and reach, in some material object (in the sensation that material object gives us). And it depends entirely on chance whether or not we encounter that object before we die.

The transitional object itself described by Winnicott (1953) is a monument to the need for this contact with the mother's body, which is so touchingly expressed in the infant's insistent preference for an object which is lasting, soft, pliable, warm to the touch, but especially in the demand that it remain saturated with body odors.1. .

CHAPTER 7 The Fourth Subphase: Consolidation of Individuality and the Beginnings of Emotional Object Constancy FROM the point of view of the separation-individuation process, the main task of the fourth subphase is twofold: (1) the achievement of a definite, in certain aspects lifelong, individuality, and (2) the attainment of a certain degree of object constancy.

From the second month on, dim awareness of the need-satisfying object marks the beginning of the phase of normal symbiosis, in which the infant behaves and functions as though he and his mother were an omnipotent system—a dual unity within one common boundary.

Quiet. My body melted heavily into the chair; I heard a cart go up the street. The room grew suddenly big with meaning. Something was about to happen, was happening: each object in the room seemed perfect of its kind, its kind being just its one self.

Inner freedom is an infrequent gift of nature and a worthy object for the individual.

Technically, instance creation first triggers the __new__ method, which creates and returns the new instance object, which is then passed into __init__ for initialization.

Design note: as we'll learn in Chapter 30, the __repr__ method is often used to provide an as-code low-level display of an object when present, and __str__ is reserved for more user-friendly informational displays like ours here.

In fact, type itself derives from object, and object derives from type, even though the two are different objects — a circular relationship that caps the object model and stems from the fact that types are classes that generate classes:

Like a def, a class statement is an object builder, and an implicit assignment — when run, it generates a class object and stores a reference to it in the name used in the header.

Interestingly, the iteration protocol is even more pervasive in Python today than the examples so far have demonstrated — essentially everything in Python's built-in toolset that scans an object from left to right is defined to use the iteration protocol on the subject object.

In general, though, any type of name assignment at the top level of a class statement creates a same-named attribute of the resulting class object.

The more important point here is that this Manager alternative is representative of a general coding pattern usually known as delegation — a composite-based structure that manages a wrapped object and propagates method calls to it.

Class attributes can also be created, though, by assigning attributes to the class anywhere a reference to the class object exists — even outside the class statement.

Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.

aphorism 90: I am incorrigible. I would have every object of the universe mechanically predictable but myself.

There is only the present. Just as every object on earth contains similar and interchanging atoms, so every fragment of time contains aspects of every other.
