I can't walk down the street with my head up. I'm not a hat wearer, but now I'm a hat wearer.

Randy Harrison

The personality of the wearer and the hat makes the hat.

Philip Treacy

Tipping your hat to a lady is good form. If you're at a dinner table, you'd most certainly take your hat off - cowboy hat, baseball hat, or otherwise.

Lyle Lovett

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

Mike Flanagan

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 always liked fashion. I like to dress up on days off - the weekend and go out - I have a friend that worked in a hat shop in Soho, and he came to me and asked me to design a logo and a hat. I did and I showed it to him and he loved it.

Bradley Wright-Phillips

The success of a hat definitely lies with balancing the personality of the wearer with the type of occasion. Don't listen to those rules about face shape.

Philip Treacy

Never fight an inanimate object.

P. J. O'Rourke

I love bringing the inanimate object to life.

John Lasseter

My design always has a political agenda. When I borrow components from various cultures and juxtapose them in an object, it is a message that co-existence is indeed possible. Design creates an ideal world where different ideas live close to each other in perfect harmony.

Marcel Wanders

Being in the body of an African-American woman, I prefer animation. I get to be everybody. I don't have to always be the white girl's best friend. I can be the princess. I can make an inanimate object come to life. I can be a little boy. I can be anything.

Cree Summer

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

The divine glory is an object only worthy of attention; and to display his holy character, was the design of God in creation; as there was no other beings existing antecedent thereto, to attract the mind of Jehovah; and we are sure that God is pursuing the same thing still, and always will.
