Peter Carey

Famous quotes containing the words peter and/or carey:

    A man’s idea in a card game is war—cruel, devastating and pitiless. A lady’s idea of it is a combination of larceny, embezzlement and burglary.
    —Finley Peter Dunne (1867–1936)

    But when my seven long years are out,
    O, then I’ll marry Sally;
    O, then we’ll wed, and then we’ll bed—
    But not in our alley!
