Famous quotes containing the words offensive and/or drive:
“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 purposesas homes, offices, bedrooms, henhouses, jetties, breakwaters, even offensive weapons.”
—Frank Smith (b. 1928)
“...I dont have an inner drive to do as well as anybody else ... I have a great pleasure in writing and part of that is political and part of that is Im surprised that Ive done as well as I have. I really am just surprised.”
—Grace Paley (b. 1922)
