Reach Base

Famous quotes containing the words reach and/or base:

“The nectar and ambrosia, are withheld;
And in the midst of spoils and slaves, we thieves
And pirates of the universe, shut out
Daily to a more thin and outward rind,
Turn pale and starve. Therefore, to our sick eyes,
The stunted trees look sick, the summer short,
Clouds shade the sun, which will not tan our hay,
And nothing thrives to reach its natural term;”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“The base emotions Plato banned
have left a radio-active and not radiant land.”
—Libby Houston (b. 1941)
