文化的功能观点坚持这样的原则：在每一种文明类型中，每一种习俗、物质对象、观念和信仰都履行某种重要功能，完成某些任务，代表一个运作整体中不可或缺的部分。

"The power of a novel lies not in its plot, but in its ability to evoke emotions that resonate with the reader's own experiences."

"One must be an inventor to read well. There is then creative reading as well as creative writing."

A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming is not worth knowing.

"The beauty of literature lies in its ability to transcend time and space."

"A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone."

每一个数学问题都是通向更深入理解世界的窗口。

在完成之前，一切似乎都是不可能的。
