Fixed Base

Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or base:

“The sky is silent too,
Hard as granite and as fixed as fate.”

Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
And sell the mighty space of our large honors
For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
Than such a Roman.”
