Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or base:

    “If they be two, they are two so
    As stiff twin compasses are two;
    Thy soul, the fixed foot, makes no show
    To move, but doth if th’ other do.”
    —John Donne (1572–1631)

    “All that are printed and bound are not books; they do not necessarily belong to letters, but are oftener to be ranked with the other luxuries and appendages of civilized life. Base wares are palmed off under a thousand disguises.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
