Famous quotes containing the words catalan and/or bay:

“It’s better that it should make you sick than that you don’t eat it at all.”
—Catalan proverb, quoted in Colman Andrews, Catalan Cuisine.

“Three miles long and two streets wide, the town curls around the bay ... a gaudy run with Mediterranean splashes of color, crowded steep-pitched roofs, fishing piers and fishing boats whose stench of mackerel and gasoline is as aphrodisiac to the sensuous nose as the clean bar-whisky smell of a nightclub where call girls congregate.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
