Famous quotes containing the words valued and/or functions:
“Even the hatred
in a man
who’s valued for his learning
is desirable,
but I’m shamed
by even love
in a person
who’s reviled by others.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
“The mind is a finer body, and resumes its functions of feeding, digesting, absorbing, excluding, and generating, in a new and ethereal element. Here, in the brain, is all the process of alimentation repeated, in the acquiring, comparing, digesting, and assimilating of experience. Here again is the mystery of generation repeated.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
