Famous quotes containing the word fish:

    “Here’s a fish hangs in the net like a poor man’s right in the law; ‘twill hardly come out.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Remember the waterfront shack with the sign FRESH FISH SOLD HERE. Of course it’s fresh, we’re on the ocean. Of course it’s for sale, we’re not giving it away. Of course it’s here, otherwise the sign would be someplace else. The final sign: FISH.”
    —Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)

    “Little fish swam by his nose
    and he noted them and touched their slime.
    Plankton came and he held them in his palm
    like God’s littlest light bulbs.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
