Famous quotes containing the words dumb and/or shark:
“Only very intelligent people don’t wish they were in politics, and I’m dumb enough to want to be in there.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
“They will tell you tough stories of sharks all over the Cape, which I do not presume to doubt utterly,—how they will sometimes upset a boat, or tear it in pieces, to get at the man in it. I can easily believe in the undertow, but I have no doubt that one shark in a dozen years is enough to keep up the reputation of a beach a hundred miles long.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
