Peacock Room

Famous quotes containing the words peacock and/or room:

    The waste of plenty is the resource of scarcity.
    —Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)

    When you see the abyss, and we have looked into it, then what? There isn’t much room at the edge—one person, another, not many. If you are there, others cannot be there. If you are there, you become a protective wall. What happens? You become part of the abyss.
    Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)
