Famous quotes containing the words base and/or court:

Your base has spread too wide,
For you to roll one stone
Down if you tried.”

“Rome, like Washington, is small enough, quiet enough, for strong personal intimacies; Rome, like Washington, has its democratic court and its entourage of diplomatic circle; Rome, like Washington, gives you plenty of time and plenty of sunlight. In New York we have annihilated both.”
