Famous quotes containing the word basis:

    Brutus. How many times shall Caesar bleed in sport,
    That now on Pompey’s basis lies along,
    No worthier than the dust!
    Cassius. So oft as that shall be,
    So often shall the knot of us be called
    The men that gave their country liberty.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Adolescents, for all their self-involvement, are emerging from the self-centeredness of childhood. Their perception of other people has more depth. They are better equipped at appreciating others’ reasons for action, or the basis of others’ emotions. But this maturity functions in a piecemeal fashion. They show more understanding of their friends, but not of their teachers.
    Terri Apter (20th century)

    The basis of art is truth, both in matter and in mode.
    Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
