Quotes Containing basis:
Oscar Wilde: ''"The Love that dare not speak its name" in this century is such a great affection of an elder for a younger man as there was between David and Jonathan, such as Plato made the very basis of his philosophy, and such as you find in the sonnets of Michelangelo and Shakespeare. It is that deep, spiritual affection that is as pure as it is perfect... It is in this century misunderstood... and on account of it I am placed where I am now.'' (Statement made during his 1st trial: April 30, 1895)
Kate (Bonnie Hunt) and Faith (Marisa Tomei) in Only You (1994): - Kate: ''I saw a psychiatrist on Donahue say that love songs are just a cruel hoax that feed people''s fantasies. Romance on a daily basis? Nobody has that.'' - Faith: ''But, Kate, somebody wrote those songs. They come-out of somebody''s experience.'' - Kate: ''No, I think the come-out of somebody''s imagination .''
