Turbot Street

Famous quotes containing the words turbot and/or street:

    How long most people would look at the best book before they would give the price of a large turbot for it?
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    The sturdy Irish arms that do the work are of more worth than oak or maple. Methinks I could look with equanimity upon a long street of Irish cabins, and pigs and children reveling in the genial Concord dirt; and I should still find my Walden Wood and Fair Haven in their tanned and happy faces.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
