Pilot Whales

Famous quotes containing the words pilot and/or whales:

    With two sons born eighteen months apart, I operated mainly on automatic pilot through the ceaseless activity of their early childhood. I remember opening the refrigerator late one night and finding a roll of aluminum foil next to a pair of small red tennies. Certain that I was responsible for the refrigerated shoes, I quickly closed the door and ran upstairs to make sure I had put the babies in their cribs instead of the linen closet.
    Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)

    Though once there were more whales cast up here, I think that it was never more wild than now.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
