Famous quotes containing the words integral and/or function:

    Self-centeredness is a natural outgrowth of one of the toddler’s major concerns: What is me and what is mine...? This is why most toddlers are incapable of sharing ... to a toddler, what’s his is what he can get his hands on....

    Lawrence Balter (20th century)

    My function in life is not to be a politician in Parliament: it is to get something done.
