Famous quotes containing the word basis:

    “The primacy of the word, basis of the human psyche, that has in our age been used for mind-bending persuasion and brain-washing pulp, disgraced by Goebbels and debased by advertising copy, remains a force for freedom that flies out between all bars.”
    —Nadine Gordimer (b. 1923)
