Famous quotes containing the words posthumous and/or execution:

    “One must be a living man and a posthumous artist.”
    —Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)

    “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)
