Famous quotes containing the words limitations, early and/or television:

    “... art transcends its limitations only by staying within them.”
    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

    “As I went forth early on a still and frosty morning, the trees looked like airy creatures of darkness caught napping; on this side huddled together, with their gray hairs streaming, in a secluded valley which the sun had not penetrated; on that, hurrying off in Indian file along some watercourse, while the shrubs and grasses, like elves and fairies of the night, sought to hide their diminished heads in the snow.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The television critic, whatever his pretensions, does not labour in the same vineyard as those he criticizes; his grapes are all sour.”
    —Frederic Raphael (b. 1931)
