Famous quotes containing the word fish:
“There goes a saying, and ‘twas shrewdly said,
Old fish at table, but young flesh in bed.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“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.”

“My face is muffled in my mother’s clothing. Her rhinestones injure me. See: my feet are going. Fish flee the forefinger of my aunt. The sun streams over the geraniums. What has this to do with what I feel, with what I am.”
—William Gass (b. 1924)
