Famous quotes containing the words fish and/or species:
“Everything seems beautiful because you dont understand. Those flying fish, theyre not leaping for joy, theyre jumping in terror. Bigger fish want to eat them. That luminous water, it takes its gleam from millions of tiny dead bodies, the glitter of putrescence. Theres no beauty here, only death and decay.”
—Curtis Siodmak (19021988)
“The further our civilization advances upon its present lines so much the cheaper sort of thing does fame become, especially of the literary sort. This species of fame a waggish acquaintance says can be manufactured to order, and sometimes is so manufactured.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
