Economic Base

Famous quotes containing the words economic and/or base:

“America is no place for an artist: to be an artist is to be a moral leper, an economic misfit, a social liability. A corn-fed hog enjoys a better life than a creative writer, painter, or musician. To be a rabbit is better still.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)

“Do not gain basely; base gain is equal to ruin.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)
