Description: It has this bizarre, ongoing philosophical project of dividing all the inanimate objects in the world into the ones that either cause or prevent cancer. Here are some of the things they said cause divorce, Wi-Fi, toiletries and coffee. Some things they say prevent crusts, red pepper, licorice and coffee. So you can see there are contradictions.

Charles Krauthammer

Life and consciousness are the two great mysteries. Actually, their substrates are the inanimate. And how do you get from neurons shooting around in the brain to the thought that pops up in your head and mine? There's something deeply mysterious about that. And if you're not struck by the mystery, I think you haven't thought about it.

American Journalist

Henry Selick

What stop-motion does best is present real objects magically brought to life in a very imperfect situation; the hand of the artist is there, the electricity of someone touching, massaging and torturing themselves to get life out of an inanimate object.

American Director

Nicholas A. Christakis

We will create life from inanimate compounds, and we will find life in space. But the life that should more immediately interest us lies between these extremes, in the middle range we all inhabit between our genes and our stars.

American Scientist

Tim Burton

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.

Jean Hanff Korelitz

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

American Novelist

Mike Mills

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

American Musician

Philip Treacy

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

Irish Designer

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

I own things I like, but nothing inanimate that I treasure in a deeply consuming way.

Nigerian Writer

Mitt Romney

When sperm and egg unite, something goes from inanimate to animate. It is life.

American Politician

John Lasseter

I love bringing the inanimate object to life.

Inanimate often describes physical objects that cannot move or grow.

Physical Objects

In science classes, inanimate is used to differentiate non-living materials from living organisms.

Science Context

Contrast 'inanimate' with 'animated' when describing objects in art or storytelling to indicate lack of movement.

Contrast with Animated

Inanimate can describe a person’s expression that lacks emotion or energy, often due to sadness or shock.

Describing Emotions

When describing people, 'inanimate' suggests a temporary state, not suggesting they are actually lifeless.

Emotional State

Use 'inanimate' in creative writing to set a still, quiet, or lifeless atmosphere.
