Famous quotes containing the words base and/or jumpers:
“Yet herein will I imitate the sun,
Who doth permit the base contagious clouds
To smother up his beauty from the world,
That when he please again to be himself,
Being wanted, he may be more wondered at
By breaking through the foul and ugly mists
Of vapors that did seem to strangle him”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Holy Rollers and Jumpers come out,
And they holler, they jump and they shout,”
—Joe Hill (1879–1914)
