Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, aquarium, fish and/or species:

    A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    All is possible,
    Who so list believe;
    Trust therefore first, and after preve,
    As men wed ladies by license and leave,
    All is possible.
    Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    The Aquarium is gone. Everywhere,
    giant finned cars nose forward like fish;
    a savage servility
    slides by on grease.
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    Hurry, Godfather death,
    Mister tyranny,
    each message you give
    has a dance to it,
    a fish twitch,
    a little crotch dance.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Both classically- and romantically-minded spirits—inasmuch as these two species always exist—occupy themselves with a vision of the future: but the former do so out of a strength of their age, the latter out of its weakness.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
