Enemy Piece

Famous quotes containing the words enemy and/or piece:

“Invite your friend to a feast, but leave your enemy alone; and especially invite the one who lives near you.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)

“It is not a piece of fine feminine Spitalfields silk—but is of the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships’ cables & hausers. A Polar wind blows through it, & birds of prey hover over it. Warn all gentle fastidious people from so much as peeping into the book—on risk of a lumbago & sciatics.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
