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

    “The world and life’s too big to pass for a dream,”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “The goldenrod is yellow,
    The corn is turning brown,
    The trees in apple orchards
    With fruit are bending down.”
    —Helen Hunt Jackson (1830–1885)

    “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)
