Famous quotes containing the words kernel, virtual, address and/or space:

    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)

    Neither dead nor alive, the hostage is suspended by an incalculable outcome. It is not his destiny that awaits for him, nor his own death, but anonymous chance, which can only seem to him something absolutely arbitrary.... He is in a state of radical emergency, of virtual extermination.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    Surely the writer is to address a world of laborers, and such therefore must be his own discipline.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Time in his little cinema of the heart
    Giving a première to Hate and Pain;
    And Space urbanely keeping us apart.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
