Fishes

Famous quotes containing the word fishes:

    The seeds of the life of fishes are everywhere disseminated, whether the winds waft them, or the waters float them, or the deep earth holds them; wherever a pond is dug, straightway it is stocked with this vivacious race. They have a lease of nature, and it is not yet out.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    If fishes were wishes the ocean would be all of our desire.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    Down the road someone is practicing scales,
    The notes like little fishes vanish with a wink of tails,
    Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)
