Famous quotes containing the word purpose:
“As the purpose of comedy is to correct the vices of men, I see no reason why anyone should be exempt.”

—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)
“Productive collaborations between family and school, therefore, will demand that parents and teachers recognize the critical importance of each other’s participation in the life of the child. This mutuality of knowledge, understanding, and empathy comes not only with a recognition of the child as the central purpose for the collaboration but also with a recognition of the need to maintain roles and relationships with children that are comprehensive, dynamic, and differentiated.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
