Catfish Quotations
I am an unpopular electric eel in a pool of catfish.
Edith Sitwell
I think it was just an opera. Now, you go to opera, you expect to see and hear what the opera is. So, it was Catfish Row. It was singers. Marvelous voices. It didn't make no difference what color they were.
Cab Calloway
Catfish is not playing guitar no more, he's doing like a home-front thing. He had been in the business around ten years before I got in it, so I guess he's had enough of it.
Bootsy Collins
We have sat on the river bank and caught catfish with pin hooks. The time has come to harpoon a whale.
John Hope
