Batter Reaches Base

Famous quotes containing the words reaches and/or base:

“However low a man sinks he never reaches the level of the police.”
—Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

“I think it is worse to be poor in mind than in purse, to be stunted and belittled in soul, made a coward, made a liar, made mean and slavish, accustomed to fawn and prevaricate, and “manage” by base arts a husband or a father,—I think this is worse than to be kicked with hobnailed shoes.”
—Frances Power Cobbe (1822–1904)
