Basic Lie

Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or lie:

    ... the basic experience of everyone is the experience of human limitation.
    Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

    Mind not the old man beseeching the young man;
    Let not the child’s voice be heard, nor the mother’s entreaties;
    Make even the trestles to shake the dead, where they lie awaiting
    the hearses,
    So strong you thump, O terrible drums—so loud you bugles blow.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
