Famous quotes containing the words function and/or object:

    ““... The state’s one function is to give.
    The bud must bloom till blowsy blown
    Its petals loosen and are strown;
    And that’s a fate it can’t evade
    Unless ‘twould rather wilt than fade.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Work without Hope draws nectar in a sieve,
    And Hope without an object cannot live.”
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
