Famous quotes containing the words national and/or fish:
“In really hard times the rules of the game are altered. The inchoate mass begins to stir. It becomes potent, and when it strikes,... it strikes with incredible emphasis. Those are the rare occasions when a national will emerges from the scattered, specialized, or indifferent blocs of voters who ordinarily elect the politicians.

—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“Shakespearean fish swam the sea, far away from land;
Romantic fish swam in nets coming to the hand....”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
