Text Quotes
Design is not art. Design is utilitarian, art is not.  (Utilitarian Quotes) The fault of the utilitarian doctrine is that it mistakes impersonality for impartiality  (Utilitarian Quotes) It is unfortunately very true that, without leisure and money, love can be no more than an orgy of the common man. Instead of being a sudden impulse full of ardor and reverie, it becomes a distastefully utilitarian affair  (Utilitarian Quotes) I’m always hearing music in terms of what I can take out of it, and I think I’ve always listened like that. I have a hard time just listening for pleasure. I’m much less about instinct, and more of a utilitarian listener.  (Utilitarian Quotes) Markets are, in the end, man-made devices for utilitarian purposes, not a force of nature that we should not try to resist. If they end up serving the interests of only a tiny minority, as is increasingly the case, we have the right - and indeed the duty - to regulate them in the interest of greater social good.  (Utilitarian Quotes) From the days of biplanes and silk scarves, the aviator has been the archetype of masculine glamour. Aviators have personified national ideals, from French elan to Soviet party discipline. They’ve inspired lust and admiration. They’ve turned sunglasses and short, utilitarian leather jackets into fashion statements.  (Utilitarian Quotes) I absolutely consider fashion a form of art. Of course, there is some fashion that is not art at all - it’s utilitarian, made for the purpose of covering up. And there are a lot of people out there who put a lot of effort into looking awful. But there are also people putting the same amount of energy into making bad art.  (Utilitarian Quotes) I am a bike enthusiast; there’s a certain amount of romance to bikes. They’re both beautiful and utilitarian  (Utilitarian Quotes) For us Africans, literature must serve a purpose: to expose, embarrass, and fight corruption and authoritarianism. It is understandable why the African artist is utilitarian  (Utilitarian Quotes) The 2suit is a utilitarian garment that functions by itself as a flight suit, and can unzip or attach with velcro and attach to a partner’s suit with very lightweight fabric inside that can expand  (Utilitarian Quotes) Universities are the cathedrals of the modern age. They shouldn’t have to justify their existence by utilitarian criteria  (Utilitarian Quotes) The utilitarian behaves sensibly in all that is required for preservation but never takes account of the fact that he must die... His whole life is absorbed in avoiding death, which is inevitable, and therefore he might be thought to be the most irrational of men, if rationality has anything to do with understanding ends or comprehending the human situation as such. He gives way without reserve to his most powerful passion and the wishes it engenders  (Utilitarian Quotes) I have a utilitarian approach to dressing; as long as I quite like it and it covers me up, I don’t care what it is  (Utilitarian Quotes) In a utilitarian age, of all other times, it is a matter of grave importance that fairy tales should be respected  (Utilitarian Quotes) The examination system, and the fact that instruction is treated mainly as a training for a livelihood, leads the young to regard knowledge from a purely utilitarian point of view as the road to money, not as the gateway to wisdom  (Utilitarian Quotes) To be a utilitarian means that you judge actions as right or wrong in accordance with whether they have good consequences. So you try to do what will have the best consequences for all of those affected  (Utilitarian Quotes) I'm a Utilitarian, so I don't see the rule against lying as absolute; it's always subject to some overriding utility which may prevent its exercise  (Utilitarian Quotes) Business or toil is merely utilitarian. It is necessary but does not enrich or ennoble a human life  (Utilitarian Quotes) Democracy is essentially a means, a utilitarian device for safeguarding internal peace and individual freedom. As such it is by no means infallible or certain. Nor must we forget that there has often been much more cultural and spiritual freedom under an autocratic rule than under some democracies and it is at least conceivable that under the government of a very homogeneous and doctrinaire majority democratic government might be as oppressive as the worst dictatorship  (Utilitarian Quotes) Only those are called liberal or free which are concerned with knowledge; those which are concerned with utilitarian ends... are called servile... The question is... can man develop to the full as a functionary and a worker and nothing else; can a full human existence be contained within an exclusively workaday existence? Stated differently and translated back into our terms: is there such a thing as a liberal art?  (Utilitarian Quotes) The skyscrapers began to rise again, frailly massive, elegantly utilitarian, images in their grace, audacity and inconclusiveness, of the whole character of the people who produces them  (Utilitarian Quotes) If I live to be old enough, I may sit down under some bush, the last left in the utilitarian world, and feel thankful that intellect in its march has spared one vestige of the ancient forest for me to die by  (Utilitarian Quotes) Childhood is not merely basic training for utilitarian adulthood. It should have some claims upon our mercy, not for its future value to the economic interests of competitive societies but for its present value as a perishable piece of life itself  (Utilitarian Quotes) More than its utilitarian and technocratic transparency, it is the opaque ambivalence of its oddities that makes the city livable  (Utilitarian Quotes) Forests, beyond offering us their plainly utilitarian wealth, have to perform vast physiological functions in the great economy of nature, by contributing predominantly in the empire of vegetation to the liberation of oxygen  (Utilitarian Quotes) A remarkable feature of the humanitarian movement, on both its sentimental and utilitarian sides, has been its preoccupation with the lot of the masses  (Utilitarian Quotes) In other words, knowledge of the external world begins with an immediate utilisation of things, whereas knowledge of self is stopped by this purely practical and utilitarian contact  (Utilitarian Quotes) Art is the most beautiful deception of all. And although people try to incorporate the everyday events of life in it, we must hope that it will remain a deception lest it become a utilitarian thing, sad as a factory  (Utilitarian Quotes) To do as one would be done by, and to love one's neighbour as oneself, constitute the ideal perfection of utilitarian morality  (Utilitarian Quotes) There is poetry even in prose, in all the great prose which is not merely utilitarian or didactic: there exist poets who write in prose or at least in more or less apparent prose; millions of poets write verses which have no connection with poetry  (Utilitarian Quotes)
