Famous quotes containing the words fresh, water and/or fish:
“In his very rejection of art Walt Whitman is an artist. He tried to produce a certain effect by certain means and he succeeded.... He stands apart, and the chief value of his work is in its prophecy, not in its performance. He has begun a prelude to larger themes. He is the herald to a new era. As a man he is the precursor of a fresh type. He is a factor in the heroic and spiritual evolution of the human being. If Poetry has passed him by, Philosophy will take note of him.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“The land may vary more;
But wherever the truth may be—
The water comes ashore,
And the people look at the sea.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“When the city gate catches fire, it’s the fish in the moat who suffer.”
—Chinese proverb.
