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)
“Our father has an even more important function than modeling manhood for us. He is also the authority to let us relax the requirements of the masculine model: if our father accepts us, then that declares us masculine enough to join the company of men. We, in effect, have our diploma in masculinity and can go on to develop other skills.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
