Famous quotes containing the words dominant and/or function:
“Dont you realize that as long as you have to sit down to pee, youll never be a dominant force in the world? Youll never be a convincing technocrat or middle manager. Because people will know. Shes in there sitting down.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“If the children and youth of a nation are afforded opportunity to develop their capacities to the fullest, if they are given the knowledge to understand the world and the wisdom to change it, then the prospects for the future are bright. In contrast, a society which neglects its children, however well it may function in other respects, risks eventual disorganization and demise.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
