Famous quotes containing the words fish and/or town:
“All the fish in us
had escaped for a minute.
The real fish did not mind.
We did not disturb their personal life.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“The town is divided into various groups, which form so many little states, each with its own laws and customs, its jargon and its jokes. While the association holds and the fashion lasts, they admit nothing well said or well done except by one of themselves, and they are incapable of appeciating anything from another source, to the point of despising those who are not initiated into their mysteries.”
—Jean De La Bruyère (1645–1696)
