Pigeon Peas

Famous quotes containing the words pigeon and/or peas:

    Suppose that humans happen to be so constructed that they desire the opportunity for freely undertaken productive work. Suppose that they want to be free from the meddling of technocrats and commissars, bankers and tycoons, mad bombers who engage in psychological tests of will with peasants defending their homes, behavioral scientists who can’t tell a pigeon from a poet, or anyone else who tries to wish freedom and dignity out of existence or beat them into oblivion.
    Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)

    It makes the peas taste funny,
    But it keeps them on the knife
    —Unknown. I Eat My Peas with Honey (l. 3–4)
