Famous quotes containing the words big, apple and/or circus:

    “We only confess our little faults to persuade people that we have no big ones.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    “Where the apple reddens
    Never pry—
    Lest we lose our Edens,
    Eve and I.”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “The way to go to the circus, however, is with someone who has seen perhaps one theatrical performance before in his life and that in the High School hall.... The scales of sophistication are struck from your eyes and you see in the circus a gathering of men and women who are able to do things as a matter of course which you couldn’t do if your life depended on it.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
