Jumping Frog

Famous quotes containing the words jumping and/or frog:

“Everything seems beautiful because you don’t understand. Those flying fish, they’re not leaping for joy, they’re 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. There’s no beauty here, only death and decay.”
—Curtis Siodmak (1902–1988)

“An old pond—
a frog tumbles in—
the sound of water.”
—Matsuo Basho (1644–1694)
