Local Base Consisting

Famous quotes containing the words local, base and/or consisting:

“There is the falsely mystical view of art that assumes a kind of supernatural inspiration, a possession by universal forces unrelated to questions of power and privilege or the artist’s relation to bread and blood. In this view, the channel of art can only become clogged and misdirected by the artist’s concern with merely temporary and local disturbances. The song is higher than the struggle.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

“There is but one pride pardonable; that of being above doing a base or dishonorable action.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

“Marriage. The state or condition of a community consisting of a master, a mistress and two slaves, making in all, two.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
