Exercise Held

Famous quotes containing the words exercise and/or held:

“Small natures require despotism to exercise their sinews, as great souls thirst for equality to give play to their heart.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

“Ah, I fancy it is just the same with most of what you call your “emancipation.” You have read yourself into a number of new ideas and opinions. You have got a sort of smattering of recent discoveries in various fields—discoveries that seem to overthrow certain principles which have hitherto been held impregnable and unassailable. But all this has only been a matter of intellect, Miss West—superficial acquisition. It has not passed into your blood.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
