Famous quotes containing the words deep, sea and/or fish:

    Lo, thus, as prostrate, ‘In the dust I write
    My heart’s deep languor and my soul’s sad tears.’
    Yet why evoke the spectres of black night
    To blot the sunshine of exultant years?
    James Thomson (1834–1882)

    The sun, the hero of every day, the impersonal old man that beams as brightly on death as on birth, came up every morning and raced across the blue dome and dipped into the sea of fire every evening. Water ran down hill and birds nested.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    I want everybody to come and have some fish and chips with King Gypo.
    Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
