Edison Base

Famous quotes containing the words edison and/or base:

    Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration.

    They must to keep their certainty accuse
    All that are different of a base intent;
    Pull down established honour; hawk for news
    Whatever their loose phantasy invent
    And murmur it with bated breath....
