Famous quotes containing the word fish:
“All the fish in us
had escaped for a minute.
The real fish did not mind.
We did not disturb their personal life.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Reason is a supple nymph, and slippery as a fish by nature. She had as leave give her kiss to an absurdity any day, as to syllogistic truth. The absurdity may turn out truer.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“Slow, slow, as a fish she came,
Slow as a fish coming forward,
Swaying in a long wave;
Her skirts not touching a leaf,
Her white arms reaching towards me.”
—Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)
