Famous quotes containing the words point and/or functions:

“The best joke-tellers are those who have the patience to wait for conversation to come around to the point where the jokes in their repertoire have application.”

“Adolescents, for all their self-involvement, are emerging from the self-centeredness of childhood. Their perception of other people has more depth. They are better equipped at appreciating others’ reasons for action, or the basis of others’ emotions. But this maturity functions in a piecemeal fashion. They show more understanding of their friends, but not of their teachers.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
