Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or extensions:

    “The basic essential of a great actor is that he loves himself in acting.”
    —Charlie Chaplin (1889–1977)

    “The psychological umbilical cord is more difficult to cut than the real one. We experience our children as extensions of ourselves, and we feel as though their behavior is an expression of something within us...instead of an expression of something in them. We see in our children our own reflection, and when we don’t like what we see, we feel angry at the reflection.”
    —Elaine Heffner (20th century)
