Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or daisy:

    The sea has never been friendly to man. At most it has been the accomplice of human restlessness.
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    The token woman carries a bouquet of hothouse celery
    and a stenographer’s pad; she will take
    the minutes, perk the coffee, smile
    like a plastic daisy and put out
    the black cat of her sensuous anger
    to howl on the fence all night.
    Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
