Famous quotes containing the words closed and/or function:

    We are closed in, and the key is turned
    On our uncertainty;
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Advocating the mere tolerance of difference between women is the grossest reformism. It is a total denial of the creative function of difference in our lives. Difference must be not merely tolerated, but seen as a fund of necessary polarities between which our creativity can spark like a dialectic.
    Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
