Agate Beach

Famous quotes containing the words agate and/or beach:

    Shaw’s plays are the price we pay for Shaw’s prefaces.
    —James Agate (1877–1947)

    They will tell you tough stories of sharks all over the Cape, which I do not presume to doubt utterly,—how they will sometimes upset a boat, or tear it in pieces, to get at the man in it. I can easily believe in the undertow, but I have no doubt that one shark in a dozen years is enough to keep up the reputation of a beach a hundred miles long.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
