Perceiving Function

Famous quotes containing the words perceiving and/or function:

    Look
    There he is now, look:
    There is no interrogation in his eyes
    Or in the hands, quiet over the horse’s neck,
    And the eyes watchful, waiting, perceiving indifferent.
    O hidden under the dover’s wing, hidden in the turtle’s breast....
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Think of the tools in a tool-box: there is a hammer, pliers, a saw, a screwdriver, a rule, a glue-pot, nails and screws.—The function of words are as diverse as the functions of these objects.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
