Text Quotes
... Desire, a function central to all human experience, is the desire for nothing nameable. And at the same time this desire lies at the origin of every variety of animation. If being were only what it is, there wouldn’t even be room to talk about it. Being comes into existence as an exact function of this lack (Function Quotes)
The function of music is to liberate in the soul those feelings which normally we keep locked up in the heart (Function Quotes)
Reality is not a function of the event as event, but of the relationship of that event to past, and future, events (Function Quotes)
... who we are and what we do it is fundamentally a function of what we remember (Function Quotes)
People get stuck a lot because they’re afraid to act; in the worst case,... we get so attached to some end result that we can’t function. We need help just to move on, only life doesn’t wait (Function Quotes)
It would seem that more than function itself, simplicity is the deciding factor in the aesthetic equation. One might call the process beauty through function and simplification (Function Quotes)
If advertising has invaded the judgment of children, it has also forced its way into the family, an insolent usurper of parental function, degrading parents to mere intermediaries between their children and the market. This indeed is a social revoluation in our time! (Function Quotes)
The function off the historian is neither to love the past nor to emancipate himself from the past, but to master and understand it as the key to the understanding of the present (Function Quotes)
What interests us about the past is at least partly a function of what bothers us or makes us curious in the present (Function Quotes)
One of the first things a relationship therapist learns is that couples argue to burn up energy that could be used for something else. In fact, arguments often serve the purpose of using up energy, so that the couple does not have to take the courageous, creative leap into an unknown they fear. Arguing serves the function of being a zone of familiarity into which you can retreat when you are afraid of making a creative breakthrough (Function Quotes)
The commandment to refrain from placing blame on our parents, deeply imprinted in us by our upbringing, skillfully performs the function of hiding essential truths from us (Function Quotes)
What we call knowledge does not and cannot have the purpose of producing representations of an independent reality, but instead has an adaptive function (Function Quotes)
It is the function of a liberal university not to give right answers, but to ask right questions (Function Quotes)
To love is not a passive thing. To love is active voice. When I love I do something, I function, I give. I do not love in order that I may be loved back again, but for the creative joy of loving. And every time I do so love I am freed, at least a little, by the outgoing of love, from enslavement to that most intolerable of master, myself (Function Quotes)
Clarinets, like lawyers, have cases, mouthpieces, and they need a constant supply of hot air in order to function (Function Quotes)
The universe is an asymmetrical entity. I am inclined to believe that life as it is manifested to us must be a function of the asymmetry of the universe or of the consequence of this fact. The universe is asymmetrical; for if one placed the entire set of bodies that compose the solar system, each moving in its own way, before a mirror, the image shown would not be superimposable on the reality (Function Quotes)
It is no more the function of government to impose a moral code than to impose a religious code. And for the same reason (Function Quotes)
The classification of facts, the recognition of their sequence and relative significance is the function of science, and the habit of forming a judgment upon these facts unbiassed by personal feeling is characteristic of what may be termed the scientific frame of mind (Function Quotes)
Myths and science fulfill a similar function: they both provide human beings with a representation of the world and of the forces that are supposed to govern it. They both fix the limits of what is considered as possible (Function Quotes)
A knowledge of brain science will provide one of the major foundations of the new age to come. That knowledge will spawn cures for disease, new machines based on brain function, further insights into our nature and how we know (Function Quotes)
My plea to educators and parents is that they should give some thought to the nature of the brain of a child, for the brain is a living mechanism, not a machine. In case of breakdown, it can substitute one of its parts for the function of another. But it has its limitations. It is subject to inexorable change with the passage of time (Function Quotes)
The ultimate function of art is to make men do what they want to do, as it is to make them recognize what they know (Function Quotes)
Magic enables man to carry out with confidence his important tasks, to maintain his poise and his mental integrity in fits of anger, in the throes of hate, of unrequited love, of despair and anxiety. The function of magic is to ritualize man’s optimism, to enhance his faith in the victory of hope over fear. Magic expresses the greater value for man of confidence over doubt, of steadfastness over vacillation, of optimism over pessimism (Function Quotes)
Creativity does not depend on inherited talent or on environment or upbringing; it is the function of the ego of every human being (Function Quotes)
The function of art is to free the spirit of man and to invigorate and enlarge his vision (Function Quotes)
Even when I took the drugs I realized that this just wasn’t fun anymore. The drugs had become a part of my routine. Something to wake me up. Something to help me sleep. Something to calm my nerves. There was a time when I was able to wake up, go to sleep, and have fun without a pill or a line to help me function. These days it felt like I might have a nervous breakdown if I didn’t have them (Function Quotes)
Those emotive theorists who said that the function of moral utterance was to evince emotion would... have been correct if they had substituted the indefinite for the definite article (Function Quotes)
I believe in a civil society we should do as much as possible not to have firearms in any guise, but obviously they are a necessary function of policing (Function Quotes)
The law of the heart is thus the same as the law of muscular tissue generally, that the energy of contraction, however measured, is a function of the length of the muscle fibre (Function Quotes)
In my case, if one out of five opportunities is interesting enough to work on, maybe one in five of those ends up being worth doing. That might be a function of risk. That might be a function of price. There are all the variables. But you have to be constantly sorting and choosing and prioritizing (Function Quotes)
