Functional Component Command

Famous quotes containing the words functional, component and/or command:

    “Indigenous to Minnesota, and almost completely ignored by its people, are the stark, unornamented, functional clusters of concrete—Minnesota’s grain elevators. These may be said to express unconsciously all the principles of modernism, being built for use only, with little regard for the tenets of esthetic design.”
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “... no one knows anything about a strike until he has seen it break down into its component parts of human beings.”
    —Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)

    “The Modernist’s command was Pound’s “Make it New.” The postmodern imperative is “Get it Used.” The more used the better.”
    —Andrei Codrescu (b. 1946)
