Famous quotes containing the words function and/or object:

    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 (1904–1994)

    We accepted this war for an object, a worthy object, and the war will end when that object is attained. Under God, I hope it never will until that time.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
