Famous quotes containing the words supported, kernel, execution and/or environment:

    “The soul has illusions as the bird has wings: it is supported by them.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “We should never stand upon ceremony with sincerity. We should never cheat and insult and banish one another by our meanness, if there were present the kernel of worth and friendliness. We should not meet thus in haste.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “My weakness has always been to prefer the large intention of an unskilful artist to the trivial intention of an accomplished one: in other words, I am more interested in the high ideas of a feeble executant than in the high execution of a feeble thinker.”
    —Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)

    “Today the young actors regard their environment with rage and disgust. They regard their Master not as disciples regard their Master, but as slaves regard their Master.”
    —Judith Malina (b. 1926)
