• 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.

• El Mediterráneo tiene el color de la caballa, cambiante quiero decir. No siempre sabes si es verde o violeta, ni siquiera puedes decir que es azul, porque al momento siguiente el reflejo cambiante ha adquirido un tinte rosa o gris.

• The city is a fact in nature, like a cave, a run of mackerel or an ant-heap. But it is also a conscious work of art, and it holds within its communal framework many simpler and more personal forms of art. Mind takes form in the city; and in turn, urban forms condition mind.

  Lewis Mumford

• What I have in mind when I start to write could fit inside an acorn-an acorn, moreover, that rarely if ever grows into an oak. Write fiction and you relinquish reason. You start with an acorn and you end up with a mackerel.

• No es país para viejos. Los jóvenes en los brazos del otro, los pájaros en los árboles - Esas generaciones moribundas - en su canción, Las caídas de salmón, los mares atestados de caballa, Pescado, carne o aves, elogian todo el verano Lo que se engendra, nace y muere. Atrapados en esa música sensual, todos descuidan los monumentos del intelecto que no envejece.

  William Butler Yeats

• Wit generally succeeds more from being happily addressed than from its native poignancy. A jest, calculated to spread at a gaming-table, may be received with, perfect indifference should it happen to drop in a mackerel-boat.

  Oliver Goldsmith

• For a hundred and fifty years, in the pasture of dead horses,
  roots of pine trees pushed through the pale curves of your ribs,
  yellow blossoms flourished above you in autumn, and in winter
  frost heaved your bones in the ground--old toilers, soil makers:
  O Roger, Mackerel, Riley, Ned, Nellie, Chester, Lady Ghost.
