Famous quotes containing the words penny and/or post:

    “Listen world,
    if you’d just take the time to pick
    the white fingers, the penny heart,
    all would be well.
    They are so unexpected.
    They are as good as salt.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “A demanding stranger arrived one morning in a small town and asked a boy on the sidewalk of the main street, “Boy, where’s the post office?”
    “I don’t know.”
    “Well, then, where might the drugstore be?”
    “I don’t know.”
    “How about a good cheap hotel?”
    “I don’t know.”
    “Say, boy, you don’t know much, do you?”
    “No, sir, I sure don’t. But I ain’t lost.””
    —William Harmon (b. 1938)
