“And connected I had been. When the fish changed directions, I felt it. when it slowed or sped up, I felt that too. It's such a raw thing, this shared existence with a piece of bucking biomass.” FeltExistencePiecesSeaChangedRiversFishesConnectedBoatLakesFishingSpedBiomass Author:Jessica Maxwell
“Don't talk anybody, don't come near! Can't you see the fish might hear? He thinks I'm playing with a piece of string; He thinks I'm another sort of funny thing, But he doesn't know I'm fishing - He doesn't know I'm fishing. That's what I'm doing - Fishing.” ThinkingKnowsMightPiecesSeaRiversFishesBoatLakesFishingStringsFunny Things Book:Now We Are Six Source: Now We Are Six
“Flyfishing, which has a vaguely mystical aura, is a lot like work. I'm a frenetic flyfisherman. I wade up and down streams, looking for good spots, usually falling and breaking some piece of equipment. Or I stand still and work myself into a frenzy about what fly I should use. I love fishing, but it has never given me a moments peace.” ShouldStillsMomentsUseFallGivenPiecesSeaRiversFishesBoatSpotsStreamsLakesFishingMysticalEquipmentUp And DownAurasFrenzyWade Author:James P.

“Anyhow, there simply isnt enough room in the museums Fishes Hall, so weve decided to pretend to the public that a whale is actually a mammal without any legs. Its pathetically ridiculous-I mean to say, just look at the thing, its a gigantic fish if I ever saw one-but mums the word! In my experience the public will believe just about anything, so long as you write it down on a little piece of card.” IfsWritingBelieveLooksMeanLittlesLongEnoughRoomsSawsPiecesDecidedFishesLegsRidiculousCardsHallsMuseumsMumWhalesMammals Author:Gideon Defoe
“A language like Ruby is a toolbox with some really neat little tools that do their job really nicely. JavaScript is a leather sheath with a really really sharp knife inside. That knife can cut anything, and with it you can do anything. You can kill a bear. You can catch fish. You can whittle a piece of wood into a pony. It's even a toothpick.” LittlesJobsLanguageCan DoPiecesCuttingBearsToolsFishesWoodsKnivesLeatherNeatReally NiceRubiesPoniesToolboxToothpicksSharp KnivesJavascript Author:Nick Morgan
