The foundation stones of a great building are destined to groan and be pressed upon; it is not for them to crown the edifice.
All the foundation work you plant in the early seasons pay off in stronger storylines deep into our seasons. I think that only aids in performance.
Everything that came later... the roots are all there in the first album.
You build a player like you build a house. You start with the foundations. The fundamentals.
Success lies in a masterful consistency around a few fundamentals. It really is simple. Not easy. But simple.
Second, we have to make the most of the strengths we have, the amenities that many of our competitors cannot replicate. But again, those advantages won't mean much if we don't do a great job with the basics of our business.
Today is the blocks with which we build.
If the head is lost, all that perishes is the individual; if the balls are lost, all of human nature perishes.
Scientific research sooner or later, but inevitably, encounters something ultimately given that it cannot trace back to something else of which it would appear as the regular or necessary derivative. Scientific progress consists in pushing further back this ultimately given.
Stories are like that. Like cities, they are built on the stones and bones of the past.
Without foundations, there can be no fashion.
