Famous quotes containing the words base and/or amount:
“Then must you speak
Of one the lov’d not wisely but too well;
Of one not easily jealous, but, being wrought,
Perplex’d in the extreme; of one whose hand,
Like the base Indian, threw a pearl away
Richer than all his tribe;”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The deed will be accomplished with the least amount of bloodshed possible, and, if possible ..., we’ll save all the souls and send them happily off to their abode.”
