Famous quotes containing the words transfer, function and/or fall:
“I have proceeded ... to prevent the lapse from ... the point of blending between wakefulness and sleep....

I can survey them with the eye of analysis.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“If the children and youth of a nation are afforded opportunity to develop their capacities to the fullest, if they are given the knowledge to understand the world and the wisdom to change it, then the prospects for the future are bright. In contrast, a society which neglects its children, however well it may function in other respects, risks eventual disorganization and demise.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
“though the fall cold
surrounds our warm bed, and though
by day we are singular and often lonely.”
