Power Base

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or base:

    In night when colours all to black are cast,
    Distinction lost, or gone down with the light;
    The eye—a watch to inward senses placed,
    Not seeing, yet still having power of sight—
    Gives vain alarums to the inward sense
    Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    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....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
