Hollow Pit

Famous quotes containing the words hollow and/or pit:

“Within the hollow crown
That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Keeps Death his court, and there the antic sits,
Scoffing his state and mocking at his pomp,
Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
To monarchize, be feared, and kill with looks.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“The pit of a theatre is the one place where the tears of virtuous and wicked men alike are mingled.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
