Famous quotes containing the words air, force and/or base:
“To be worst,
The lowest and most dejected thing of fortune,
Stands still in esperance, lives not in fear.

The worst returns to laughter. Welcome, then,
Thou unsubstantial air that I embrace!
The wretch that thou hast blown unto the worst
Owes nothing to thy blasts.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“what affects our hearts
Is not the exactness of peculiar parts;
Tis not a lip, or eye, we beauty call,
But the joint force and full result of all.”
—Alexander Pope (16881744)
“What I often forget about students, especially undergraduates, is that surface appearances are misleading. Most of them are at base as conventional as Presbyterian deacons.”
