Sufficient Condition

Famous quotes containing the words sufficient condition, sufficient and/or condition:

    “We as a nation need to be reeducated about the necessary and sufficient conditions for making human beings human. We need to be reeducated not as parents—but as workers, neighbors, and friends; and as members of the organizations, committees, boards—and, especially, the informal networks that control our social institutions and thereby determine the conditions of life for our families and their children.”
    —Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)

    “Women ... are degraded by the ... propensity to enjoy the present moment, and, at last, despise the freedom which they have not sufficient virtue to struggle to attain.”
    —Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)

    “The difference between tragedy and comedy is the difference between experience and intuition. In the experience we strive against every condition of our animal life: against death, against the frustration of ambition, against the instability of human love. In the intuition we trust the arduous eccentricities we’re born to, and see the oddness of a creature who has never got acclimatized to being created.”
    —Christopher Fry (b. 1907)
