Famous quotes containing the words functions of, functions and/or machines:

    “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)

    “Empirical science is apt to cloud the sight, and, by the very knowledge of functions and processes, to bereave the student of the manly contemplation of the whole.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Gee, I wish we had one of them doomsday machines things.”
    —Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
