| "Ace In Vegas, everybody's gotta watch everybody else. Since the players are looking to beat the casino, the dealers are watching the players. The box men are watching the dealers. The floor men are watching the box men. The PIT bosses are watching the floor men. The shift bosses are watching the PIT bosses. The casino manager is watching the shift bosses. I'm watching the casino manager. And the eye-in-the-sky is watching us all." »Casino |
| "An unstable pilot steers a leaking ship, and the blind is leading the blind straight to the PIT. The ruler is like the ruled." »Saint Jerome |
| "I do not think myself to be a worm, and a grub, grass of the field fit only to be burned, a clod, a morsel of putrid atoms that should be thrown to the dungheap, ready for the nethermost PIT. Nor if I did should I therefore expect to sit with Angels and Archangels." »Anthony Trollope |
| "At the opera in Milan with my daughter and me, Needleman leaned out of his box and fell into the orchestra PIT. Too proud to admit it was a mistake, he attended the opera every night for a month and repeated it each time." »Woody Allen |
| "No power on earth or above the bottomless PIT has such influence to terrorize and make cowards of men as the liquor power. Satan could not have fallen on a more potent instrument with which to thrall the world. Alcohol is king" »Eliza Mother Stewart |
| "Men fear thought as they fear nothing else on earth -- more than ruin -- more even than death.... Thought is subversive and revolutionary, destructive and terrible, thought is merciless to privilege, established institutions, and comfortable habit. Thought looks into the PIT of hell and is not afraid. Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, and the chief glory of man." »Bertrand Russell |
