Functions Form

Famous quotes containing the words functions and/or form:

“Adolescents, for all their self-involvement, are emerging from the self-centeredness of childhood. Their perception of other people has more depth. They are better equipped at appreciating others’ reasons for action, or the basis of others’ emotions. But this maturity functions in a piecemeal fashion. They show more understanding of their friends, but not of their teachers.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)

“Which form of proverb do you prefer—”Better late than never,” or “Better never than late”?”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
