Live Fish

Famous quotes containing the words live and/or fish:

    The real trouble about women is that they must always go on trying to adapt themselves to men’s theories of women, as they always have done. When a woman is thoroughly herself, she is being what her type of man wants her to be. When a woman is hysterical it’s because she doesn’t quite know what to be, which pattern to follow, which man’s picture of woman to live up to.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Wallowing in this bloody sty,
    I cast for fish that pleased my eye
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
