Famous quotes containing the words war, november, seventh, fish and/or flying:

    The British blockade won the war; but the wonder is that the British blockhead did not lose it. I suppose the enemy was no wiser. War is not a sharpener of wits.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Not yesterday I learned to know
    The love of bare November days
    Before the coming of the snow....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    I don’t know.
    When my lover
    comes to me
    and says such loving things,
    do all my parts
    become eyes
    or ears?
    Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

    Do not tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don’t tell them where they know the fish.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Only the sound remains,
    the distant thump of the good elephants,
    the voice of the ancient lions
    and how the bells
    trembled for the flying man.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
