Famous quotes containing the words kings and/or bay:

    “Do you think that mere words are strategy and power for war?”
    —Bible: Hebrew, 2 Kings 18:20.

    “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)
