Transfer Function Fall

Famous quotes containing the words transfer, function and/or fall:

“No sociologist ... should think himself too good, even in his old age, to make tens of thousands of quite trivial computations in his head and perhaps for months at a time. One cannot with impunity try to transfer this task entirely to mechanical assistants if one wishes to figure something, even though the final result is often small indeed.”
—Max Weber (1864–1920)

“Any translation which intends to perform a transmitting function cannot transmit anything but information—hence, something inessential. This is the hallmark of bad translations.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

“For them that think death’s honesty
Won’t fall upon them naturally
Life sometimes
Must get lonely.”
—Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)
