“Pride the first peer and president of hell.”
Daniel Defoe
“When we first heard about it from one of our peers, of course we were skeptical. But not only was it feasible, but it actually worked better from all of the other alternatives.”
Josh Scott
“Ex-presidents need to hang around with one another. Who are their peers? Nobody's experienced what they've experienced.”
Douglas Muzzio
“My yesterdays walk with me. They keep step, they are gray faces that peer over my shoulder.”
William G. Golding
“Hermits have no peer pressure.”
Steven Wright
“Emperor? You old fake! / You're no Emperor. You're just an onion. / Now then, little Peer, I'm going to peel you.”
Henrik Ibsen
“How happy the lot of the mathematician! He is judged solely by his peers, and the standard is so high that no colleague or rival can ever win a reputation he does not deserve. No cashier writes a letter to the press complaining about the incomprehensibility of Modern Mathematics and comparing it unfavorably with the good old days when mathematicians were content to paper irregularly shaped rooms and fill bathtubs without closing the waste pipe.”
W. H. Auden
