Famous quotes containing the words false and/or bay:

    It is better to be true to what you believe, though that be wrong, than to be false to what you believe, even if that belief is correct.
    Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)

    Three miles long and two streets wide, the town curls around the bay ... a gaudy run with Mediterranean splashes of color, crowded steep-pitched roofs, fishing piers and fishing boats whose stench of mackerel and gasoline is as aphrodisiac to the sensuous nose as the clean bar-whisky smell of a nightclub where call girls congregate.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
