Famous quotes containing the words specific and/or functions:

    “No more distressing moment can ever face a British government than that which requires it to come to a hard, fast and specific decision.”
    —Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)

    “Let us stop being afraid. Of our own thoughts, our own minds. Of madness, our own or others’. Stop being afraid of the mind itself, its astonishing functions and fandangos, its complications and simplifications, the wonderful operation of its machinery—more wonderful because it is not machinery at all or predictable.”
    —Kate Millett (b. 1934)
