Famous quotes containing the words fish and/or water:
“But when a man poured fish into a pile,
It seemed they raised their little silver heads,
And sang”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“In full view of his television audience, he preached a new religion—or a new form of Christianity—based on faith in financial miracles and in a Heaven here on earth with a water slide and luxury hotels. It was a religion of celebrity and showmanship and fun, which made a mockery of all puritanical standards and all canons of good taste. Its standard was excess, and its doctrines were tolerance and freedom from accountability.”
—New Yorker (April 23, 1990)
