Famous quotes containing the word penny:

    “Ferry me across the water,
    Do, boatman, do.”
    “If you’ve a penny in your purse
    I’ll ferry you.”
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    There is no passion more dominant and instinctive in the human spirit than the need of the country to which one belongs.... The time comes when nothing in the world is so important as a breath of one’s own particular climate. If it were one’s last penny it would be used for that return passage.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    I had not given a penny for a song
    Did not the poet sing it with such airs
    That one believed he had a sword upstairs;
    Yet would be now, could I but have my wish,
    Colder and dumber and deafer than a fish.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
