Famous quotes containing the word pig:

    Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)

    To market, to market, to buy a fat pig;
    Home again, home again, jiggety jig.
    To market, to market, to buy a fine hog;
    Home again, home again, joggety jog.
    Unknown. To Market, to Market, to Buy a Fat Pig (l. 1–4)

    He had the oaks for heating and for light.
    He had a hen, he had a pig in sight.
    He had a well, he had the rain to catch.
    He had a ten-by-twenty garden patch.
    Nor did he lack for common entertainment.
    That I assume was what our passing train meant.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
