Famous quotes containing the words neighborhood and/or function:
“We are now a nation of people in daily contact with strangers. Thanks to mass transportation, school administrators and teachers often live many miles from the neighborhood schoolhouse.

—James P. Comer (20th century)
“We are thus able to distinguish thinking as the function which is to a large extent linguistic.”
