Peach Pit

Famous quotes containing the words peach and/or pit:

“I askèd a thief to steal me a peach
He turned up his eyes
I ask’d a lithe lady to lie her down
Holy & meek she cries—

As soon as I went
An angel came.
He wink’d at the thief
And smild at the dame—

And without one word said
Had a peach from the tree
And still as a maid
Enjoy’d the lady.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)

“Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
