Famous quotes containing the words fish and/or water:

    “Until they saw, over the mists
    of Venus, two fish creatures stop
    on spangled legs and crawl
    from the belly of the sea.
    And from the planet park
    they heard the new fruit drop.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Lord, crack their teeth! Lord, crush these lions’ jaws!
    So let them sink as water in the sand;
    When deadly bow their aiming fury draws,
    Shiver the shaft ere past the shooter’s hand.
    So make them melt as the dishoused snail”
    —Bible: Hebrew Psalm LVIII (Paraphrased by the Countess of Pembroke)
