For just as for a flute-player, a sculptor, or an artist, and, in general, for all things that have a function or activity, the good and the well is thought to reside in the function, so would it seem to be for man, if he has a function.
Aristotle
[T]he male .... tries to convince himself and women - he's succeeded best at convincing women - that the female function is to bear and raise children and relax, comfort and boost the egos of the male, that her function is such as to make her interchangeable with every other female. In actual fact, the female function is to relate, groove, love and be herself, irreplaceable by anyone else; the male function is to produce sperm. We now have sperm banks.
Valerie Solanas
/* This bit of chicanery makes a unary function followed by a parenthesis into a function with one argument, highest precedence. */
Larry Wall
The function of government is to provide you with service; the function of the media is to supply the Vaseline.
L. Neil Smith
One function of the angels is illumination, and the other function is that of being a guardian.
