The word "immoveable" refers to something that cannot be moved or changed easily. Therefore, some antonyms for this term could be movable, flexible, agile, nimble, or pliant. Something that is movable can be easily shifted or adjusted, whereas flexible things can bend or stretch without breaking or becoming damaged. Agile and nimble both refer to the ability to move quickly and easily, while pliant refers to things that can be manipulated or molded into different shapes or positions. These antonyms provide a sense of movement or adaptability, in contrast to the rigidity or stability associated with something that is immoveable.

Famous quotes with Immoveable

• What has pleased, and continues to please, is likely to please again: hence are derived the rules of art, and on this immoveable foundation they must ever stand.

  Joshua Reynolds
• [S]ince causes are four in number, to know them all is the business of the natural philosopher, who also referring to the cause a thing is to all of them, viz. to matter, form, that which moves, and for the sake of which a thing subsists, physically assigns a reason. Frequently, however, three of these causes pass into one: for the cause why a thing is, and that for the sake of which it is, are one. But that which motion first originates, is in species the same with these... [T]here are three treatises; once concerning that which is immoveable; another concerning that which is moved, indeed, but is incorruptible; and a third concerning corruptible natures. So the cause of why a thing is, is assigned by him who refers to matter, to essence, and to the first mover... But there are two principles which are naturally motive; of which, one is not physical, because it does not contain in itself the principle of motion. And if there is any thing which moves without being moved, it is of this kind; as is that which is perfectly immoveable, that which is the first of all things, together with essence and form: for it is the end, and that for the sake of which a thing subsists. So that since nature is for the sake of something, it is also necessary to know this cause.

  Aristotle
• Do we not say that the judicious discovering of a most lovely Statua in a piece of Marble, hath sublimated the wit of Buonarruotti far above the vulgar wits of other men? And yet this work is onely the imitation of a meer aptitude and disposition of exteriour and superficial mem­bers of an immoveable man; but what is it in comparison of a man made by nature, composed of as many exteriour and inte­riour members, of so many muscles, tendons, nerves, bones, which serve to so many and sundry motions? but what shall we say of the senses, and of the powers of the soul, and lastly, of the understanding? May we not say, and that with reason, that the structure of a Statue falls far short of the formation of a living man, yea more of a contemptible worm?

  Michelangelo
