Peter Marlowe

Famous quotes containing the words peter and/or marlowe:

    That matches are made in heaven, may be, but my wife would have been just the wife for Peter the Great, or Peter Piper. How would she have set in order that huge littered empire of the one, and with indefatigable painstaking picked the peck of pickled peppers for the other.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    This idoll which you terme Virginitie,
    Is neither essence subject to the eie,
    No, nor to any one exterior sence,
    Nor hath it any place of residence,
    Nor is’t of earth or mold celestiall,
    Or capable of any forme at all.
    —Christopher Marlowe (1564–1593)
