Fully Functioning

Famous quotes containing the words fully and/or functioning:

“A man who doesn’t drink is not, in my opinion, fully a man.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“Ideals possess the strange quality that if they were completely realized they would turn into nonsense. One could easily follow a commandment such as “Thou shalt not kill” to the point of dying of starvation; and I might establish the formula that for the proper functioning of the mesh of our ideals, as in the case of a strainer, the holes are just as important as the mesh.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
