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)
“The fact remains that the human being in early childhood learns to consider one or the other aspect of bodily function as evil, shameful, or unsafe. There is not a culture which does not use a combination of these devils to develop, by way of counterpoint, its own style of faith, pride, certainty, and initiative.”
—Erik H. Erikson (19041994)
