Famous quotes containing the words odd and/or functions:
“It’s a very odd thing—
As odd as can be—
That whatever Miss T. eats
Turns into Miss T.;”
—Walter De La Mare (1873–1956)
“Nobody is so constituted as to be able to live everywhere and anywhere; and he who has great duties to perform, which lay claim to all his strength, has, in this respect, a very limited choice. The influence of climate upon the bodily functions ... extends so far, that a blunder in the choice of locality and climate is able not only to alienate a man from his actual duty, but also to withhold it from him altogether, so that he never even comes face to face with it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
