Famous quotes containing the words oyster and/or bay:
“I had rather be an oyster than a man, the most stupid and senseless of animals.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
“Baltimore lay very near the immense protein factory of Chesapeake Bay, and out of the bay it ate divinely. I well recall the time when prime hard crabs of the channel species, blue in color, at least eight inches in length along the shell, and with snow-white meat almost as firm as soap, were hawked in Hollins Street of Summer mornings at ten cents a dozen.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
