Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or venom:
“They call them the haunted shores, these stretches of Devonshire and Cornwall and Ireland which rear up against the westward ocean. Mists gather here, and sea fog, and eerie stories. That’s not because there are more ghosts here than in other places, mind you. It’s just that people who live hereabouts are strangely aware of them.”
—Dodie Smith, and Lewis Allen. Roderick Fitzgerald (Ray Milland)
“The venom clamors of a jealous woman
Poisons more deadly than a mad dog’s tooth.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
