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

I love bringing the inanimate object to life.

John Lasseter

What my work is about is, 'Can something that is not an inanimate object be considered valuable?'

Tino Sehgal

No inanimate object is ever fully determined by the laws of physics and chemistry.

Michael Polanyi

I always design the hat with the wearer in mind; otherwise, it's an inanimate object.

Philip Treacy

It's amazing how these little guys can say things that a mortal human could never get away with. There's some sort of unspoken license... when outlandish things come out of an inanimate object, somehow it equals humor.

Jeff Dunham

Bryan Kest

Pronouns really don't matter in a song - 'I' or 'he' or 'she' or even subscribing a lyric to an inanimate object.

Conor Oberst

I find very reasonable the Celtic belief that the souls of our dearly departed are trapped in some inferior being, in an animal, aplant, an inanimate object, indeed lost to us until the day, which for some never arrives, when we find that we pass near the tree, or come to possess the object which is their prison. Then they quiver, call us, and as soon as we have recognized them, the spell is broken. Freed by us, they have vanquished death and return to live with us.

Marcel Proust

And I was very successful at baby photography... Strange isn't it? Because some of my portraits of babies were - I used dramatic lighting, shadow lighting, and I didn't use flash. We didn't have flash in those days, we just had floodlights, and I was photographing babies as I would an object - an inanimate object, for that matter.

Julius Shulman

I always liked the challenge of that, how to take an inanimate object and build something around it that's scary.

Mike Flanagan

I find it ridiculous to assign a gender to an inanimate object incapable of disrobing and making an occasional fool of itself.

David Sedaris

There's some sort of unspoken license... when outlandish things come out of an inanimate object, somehow it equals humor.

Jeff Dunham

To me, respect for human life begins with making it more difficult to obtain an inanimate object that is designed to snuff it out.

Jean Hanff Korelitz

A book which is left on a shelf is a dead thing but it is also a chrysalis, an inanimate object packed with the potential to burst into new life.

Susan Hill

There's something about seeing this little inanimate object coming to life that's just very exciting. That's why with 'Nightmare' I held out for so long to do it.

Tim Burton
