Pit Quotes

Pride is born as a mountaintop on a valley, but dies as an abyss in which it is too deep and too dark to see the better.

Each person carries around in himself a terrible other world of hell and the unknown. It is an enormous pit reaching below the deepest crater of the earth, or it is the thinnest air far beyond the moon. But it is frightening and essentially “unlike” man as he knows himself familiarly, so we spend all our days living at the other antipodes of ourself.

Patricia Highsmith

We are sometimes dragged into a pit of unhappiness by someone else’s opinion that we do not look happy.
