Famous quotes containing the words based and/or nationality:
“A marriage based on full confidence, based on complete and unqualified frankness on both sides; they are not keeping anything back; there’s no deception underneath it all. If I might so put it, it’s an agreement for the mutual forgiveness of sin.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
“If nationality is consent, the state is compulsion.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
