Pit

Famous quotes containing the word pit:

    For tamed and shabby tigers
    And dancing dogs and bears,
    And wretched, blind pit ponies
    And little hunted hares.
    Ralph Hodgson (c. 1871–1962)

    Violence does, in truth, recoil upon the violent, and the schemer falls into the pit which he digs for another.
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

    Not Chaos, not
    The darkest pit of lowest Erebus,
    Nor aught of blinder vacancy, scooped out
    By help of dreams can breed such fear and awe
    As fall upon us often when we look
    Into our Minds, into the Mind of Man.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
