Base Form Ends

Famous quotes containing the words base, form and/or ends:

    It is a base thing for a man among the people not to obey those in command. Never in a state can the laws be well administered when fear does not stand firm.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    I doubt that I would have taken so many leaps in my own writing or been as clear about my feminist and political commitments if I had not been anointed as early as I was. Some major form of recognition seems to have to mark a woman’s career for her to be able to go out on a limb without having her credentials questioned.
    Ruth Behar (b. 1956)

    These seem like bristles, and the hide is tough.
    No claw or web here: each foot ends in hoof.
    Thom Gunn (b. 1929)
