Famous quotes containing the words fresh, water and/or fish:
“Give me the splendid silent sun
with all his beams full-dazzling,
Give me juicy autumnal fruit ripe and red from the orchard,
Give me a field where the unmowd grass grows,
Give me an arbor, give me the trellisd grape,
Give me fresh corn and wheat, give me serene-moving animals teaching content,”
—Walt Whitman (18191892)
“We were uncertain whether the water floated the land, or the land held the water in its bosom. It was such a season, in short, as that in which one of our Concord poets sailed on its stream, and sung its quiet glories.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“Remember the waterfront shack with the sign FRESH FISH SOLD HERE. Of course its fresh, were on the ocean. Of course its for sale, were not giving it away. Of course its here, otherwise the sign would be someplace else. The final sign: FISH.”
—Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)
