Famous quotes containing the words supported, regular, expression and/or flavors:

    “Most think that they are above being supported by the town; but it oftener happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means, which would be more disreputable.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “A regular council was held with the Indians, who had come in on their ponies, and speeches were made on both sides through an interpreter, quite in the described mode,—the Indians, as usual, having the advantage in point of truth and earnestness, and therefore of eloquence. The most prominent chief was named Little Crow. They were quite dissatisfied with the white man’s treatment of them, and probably have reason to be so.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “You have to begin to lose your memory, if only in bits and pieces, to realize that memory is what makes our lives. Life without memory is no life at all, just as an intelligence without the possibility of expression is not really an intelligence. Our memory is our coherence, our reason, our feeling, even our action. Without it, we are nothing.”
    —Luis Buñuel (1900–1983)

    “Of all the flavors one eats, salt is indispensable; wherever one goes in the world, one’s mother is dearest.”
    —Chinese proverb.
