“You are wrong if you think you cannot live without love. I cannot live without it. I do not mean that I go into a decline, develop odd symptoms, became a caricature. I mean that I cannot live well without it. I cannot think or act or speak or write or even dream with any kind of energy in the absence of love. I feel excluded from the living world. I become cold, fish-like, immobile. I implode.” IfsThinkingWorldLoveFeelsWritingWellsKindMeanDreamEnergySpeakColdFishesAbsenceOddDeclineSymptomsWithout LoveExcludedLive WellCaricatures Author:Anita Brookner
“A feller's glad to be a friend, Out fishin'. A helpin' hand he'll always lend, Out fishin' The brotherhood of rod and line An' sky an' stream is always fine; Men come real close to God's design, Out fishin'. A feller isn't plotting schemes, Out fishin'. He's only busy with his dreams, Out fishin' His livery is a coat of tan; His creed, to do the best he can; A feller's always mostly man Out fishin'.” MenRealDreamHandsLinesSeaSkyDesignFineRiversBusyFishesGladBoatStreamsLakesFishingBrotherhoodCreedsSchemesCoatsDo The Best Author:Edgar Guest

“The truth is that trout fishermen scheme and lie and toss in their sleep. They dream of great dripping trout, shapely and elusive as mermaids, and arise cranky and haggard from their fantasies. They are moody and neglectful and all of them a little daft. Moreover they are inclined to drink too much.” LittlesDreamLyingSleepFantasyToo MuchSeaDrinkTruth IsRiversFishesAriseBoatLakesFishingSchemesElusiveFishermanTossMermaidTroutDrippingMoodyCrankyDaftHaggard Author:John D.
