I love the life of objects. When the children go to bed, the objects come to life. I like to tell stories about the life of inanimate objects.

Josef Sudek

Inanimate objects can be classified scientifically into three major categories: those that don't work, those that break down and those that get lost. The goal of all inanimate objects is to resist man and ultimately to defeat him, and the three major classifications are based on the method each object uses to achieve its purpose. As a general rule, any object capable of breaking down at the moment when it is most needed will do so.

Russell Baker

Strange the affection which clings to inanimate objects - objects which cannot even know our love! But it is not return that constitutes the strength of an attachment.

Letitia Elizabeth Landon

I believe inanimate objects have a spirit.

Jeremy Irons

I don't believe in blaming inanimate objects for anything.

Peter Benchley

I do have a tendency to invest inanimate objects with human qualities.

Matthea Harvey

I've always had a problem with over-identification with inanimate objects.

Lisa Joy

Inanimate objects are always correct and cannot, unfortunately, be reproached with anything. I have never observed a chair shift from one foot to another, or a bed rear on its hind legs. And tables, even when they are tired, will not dare to bend their knees. I suspect that objects do this from pedagogical considerations, to reprove us constantly for our instability.

Zbigniew Herbert

It is certain that the inanimate objects by which you are surrounded have a direct action on the brain.

Jules Verne

The goal of all inanimate objects is to resist man and ultimately defeat him.

Russell Baker

A large, branching, aged oak is perhaps the most venerable of all inanimate objects.

William Shenstone

I am intrigued by inanimate objects. They're a piece of history, someone's statement and ideas of life.

Mike Mills

In Tantric Buddhism we call the inherent knowledge that all animate and inanimate objects possess of themselves - their emptiness.

Frederick Lenz

Inanimate objects are harmless indeed, Mr. Mortmain. But one cannot always say the same of the men who use them.

Cassandra Clare

Inanimate objects sometimes appear endowed with a strange power of sight. A statue notices, a tower watches, the face of an edifice contemplates.

Victor Hugo

When I glanced at the chair, it started to shake. I’d like to think it was scared of me, but I rarely invoked that response in living things, let alone inanimate objects.

Kelley Armstrong
