Rule Based

Famous quotes containing the words rule and/or based:

    While Michael Angelo’s Sistine roof,
    His “Morning” and his “Night” disclose
    How sinew that has been pulled tight,
    Or it may be loosened in repose,
    Can rule by supernatural right
    Yet be but sinew.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    This is a war universe. War all the time. That is its nature. There may be other universes based on all sorts of other principles, but ours seems to be based on war and games.
    William Burroughs (b. 1914)
