Famous quotes containing the words economic and/or base:

“The chief reason warfare is still with us is neither a secret death-wish of the human species, nor an irrepressible instinct of aggression, nor, finally and more plausibly, the serious economic and social dangers inherent in disarmament, but the simple fact that no substitute for this final arbiter in international affairs has yet appeared on the political scene.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

“No love is entirely without worth, even when the frivolous calls to the frivolous and the base to the base.”
—Iris Murdoch (b. 1919)
