Pan Fish

Famous quotes containing the words pan and/or fish:

    I can’t accept “our nervous age,” since mankind has been nervous during every age. Whoever fears nervousness should turn into a sturgeon or smelt; if a sturgeon makes a stupid mistake, it can only be one: to end up on a hook, and then in a pan in a pastry shell.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    Little fish swam by his nose
    and he noted them and touched their slime.
    Plankton came and he held them in his palm
    like God’s littlest light bulbs.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
