Frog Quotes

Not quite a frog yet, and that's fine.

These frog quotes are mostly playful, led by a memorable self-description as a tadpole trying to be a frog rather than a diva. Frog Jump turns out to be a real place, showing up on GPS and tying loosely to Cool small-town pride.

I'm not a diva. I'm a tadpole trying to be a frog.

Quotes by Toni Braxton

Quotes by Marianne Elliott

Quotes by Les Claypool

Theories pass. The frog remains.

Quotes by Jean Rostand

Quotes by E. B. White

They may have turned this up, whether you had the Paula Jones case or not. But again maybe not, but again that's like if a frog had side pockets he'd probably wear a handgun.

Is Frog Jump a real place?
Yes, according to these quotes it's a real, if small, location that shows up on GPS, and one speaker is even known locally as 'the guy from Frog Jump,' a detail they seem to enjoy.
What does the Kermit the Frog quote suggest?
It raises a thought experiment about whether having Kermit behave like an actual frog, rather than his usual character, would make for interesting theatre, and concludes it likely wouldn't.
Are any of these quotes about real amphibians?
