Famous quotes containing the word basis:

    “Painting dissolves the forms at its command, or tends to; it melts them into color. Drawing, on the other hand, goes about resolving forms, giving edge and essence to things. To see shapes clearly, one outlines them—whether on paper or in the mind. Therefore, Michelangelo, a profoundly cultivated man, called drawing the basis of all knowledge whatsoever.”
    —Alexander Eliot (b. 1919)

    “The basis of political economy is non-interference. The only safe rule is found in the self-adjusting meter of demand and supply. Do not legislate. Meddle, and you snap the sinews with your sumptuary laws.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “All costumes are caricatures. The basis of Art is not the Fancy Ball.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
