Tail/function

Famous quotes containing the words tail and/or function:

    Yet I suppose what seems to us confusion
    Is not confusion, but the form of forms,
    The serpent’s tail stuck down the serpent’s throat....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The press and politicians. A delicate relationship. Too close, and danger ensues. Too far apart and democracy itself cannot function without the essential exchange of information. Creative leaks, a discreet lunch, interchange in the Lobby, the art of the unattributable telephone call, late at night.
    Howard Brenton (b. 1942)
