Famous quotes containing the words base and/or mongolia:
“I am sure my bones would not rest in an English grave, or my clay mix with the earth of that country. I believe the thought would drive me mad on my death-bed could I suppose that any of my friends would be base enough to convey my carcass back to her soil. I would not even feed her worms if I could help it.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“The House of Lords is the British Outer Mongolia for retired politicians.”
—Tony Benn (b. 1925)
