Rising Peter

Famous quotes containing the words rising and/or peter:

    Oh, what a catastrophe for man when he cut himself off from the rhythm of the year, from his unison with the sun and the earth. Oh, what a catastrophe, what a maiming of love when it was a personal, merely personal feeling, taken away from the rising and the setting of the sun, and cut off from the magic connection of the solstice and the equinox!
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
