Famous quotes containing the words cutthroat and/or trout:

    Signor Antonio, many a time and oft
    In the Rialto you have rated me
    About my moneys and my usances.
    Still have I borne it with a patient shrug,
    For sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.
    You call me misbeliever, cutthroat dog,
    And spit upon my Jewish gaberdine,
    And all for use of that which is mine own.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Bulldozed by Luther and Weyerhaeuser
    Crosscut and chainsaw
    squareheads and finns
    high-lead and cat-skidding
    Trees down
    Creeks choked, trout killed, roads.
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
