Famous quotes containing the words humboldt and/or bay:

    “Possession, it is true, crowns exertion with rest; but it is only in the illusions of fancy that it has power to charm us.”
    —Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)

    “Baltimore lay very near the immense protein factory of Chesapeake Bay, and out of the bay it ate divinely. I well recall the time when prime hard crabs of the channel species, blue in color, at least eight inches in length along the shell, and with snow-white meat almost as firm as soap, were hawked in Hollins Street of Summer mornings at ten cents a dozen.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
