Point Pleasant Beach

Famous quotes containing the words point, pleasant and/or beach:

    Prejudices are so to speak the mechanical instincts of men: through their prejudices they do without any effort many things they would find too difficult to think through to the point of resolving to do them.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    O happy harbour of the saints,
    O sweet and pleasant soil,
    In thee no sorrow may be found
    No grief, no care, no toil.
    Unknown. Jerusalem, My Happy Home (l. 5–8)

    There I was dragging the ocean, that knock-out,
    in and out by its bottle-green neck, letting it chew
    the rocks, letting it haul beach glass and furniture sticks
    in and out.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
