Famous quotes containing the words moment and/or function:
“After I have said what is required by my vanity and my morality, I may find a moment for Truth.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Uses are always much broader than functions, and usually far less contentious. The word function carries overtones of purpose and propriety, of concern with why something was developed rather than with how it has actually been found useful. The function of automobiles is to transport people and objects, but they are used for a variety of other purposes—as homes, offices, bedrooms, henhouses, jetties, breakwaters, even offensive weapons.”
—Frank Smith (b. 1928)
