Famous quotes containing the word fish:

    Where no great fish venture
    nor small fish glitter and dart,
    only the anemones and flower
    of the wild sea-thyme
    cover the silent walls
    of an old sea-city at rest.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.
    Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)

    I have a very great fear of love. It is so personal. Let each bird fly with its own wings, and each fish swim its own course.—Morning brings more than love. And I want to be true to the morning.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
