Famous quotes containing the word fish:

    “I close my eyes and suck you in like a fire.
    I grow. I grow. I’m fattening out.
    I’m a kid in a rowboat and you’re the sea,
    the salt, you’re every fish of importance.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “I love meetings with suits. I live for meetings with suits. I love them because I know they had a really boring week and I walk in there with my orange velvet leggings and drop popcorn in my cleavage and then fish it out and eat it. I like that. I know I’m entertaining them and I know that they know. Obviously, the best meetings are with suits that are intelligent, because then things are operating on a whole other level.”
    —Madonna [Madonna Louise Ciccione] (b. 1959)

    “A harvest mouse goes scampering by,
    With silver claws and silver eye;
    And moveless fish in the water gleam,
    By silver reeds in a silver stream.”
    —Walter De La Mare (1873–1956)
