“I personally feel that parachute files give a more realistic impression of an insect to the fish that views the fly, since the hackles are in the same position as the insect's legs, and when tied with brightly colored hackles, these flies are easier to see on the float. A final advantage is that in rough water, a parachute-hackled dry fly will float longer and better than a conventional one” GivingFeelsWaterViewsSeaPositionEasierAdvantageRiversFinalsFishesLegsImpressionBoatDryLakesFishingRoughRealisticTiedConventionalInsectsFloatsFilesParachutes Author:Lefty Kreh

“I love seeing somebody act real earnest and serious, like Jackie Gleason. He makes me laugh because he reflects back to me my own serious-mindedness and how ridiculous it all is. It's always easier to see somebody else in that position than yourself, and you laugh. It's like the classic slipping on the banana peel, or someone getting hit by a pie in the face. Why do those things make us laugh? Is it from relief, like: Thank God it wasn't me? Or is it something else: I'm being very serious now. I'm pontificating earnestly and solemnly about-POW! PIE IN THE FACE!

“The rules for reading yourself to sleep are easier to follow than are the rules for staying awake while reading. Get into bed in a comfortable position, make sure the light is inadequate enough to cause slight eyestrain, choose a book that is either terribly difficult or terribly boring-in any event, one that you do not really care whether you read or not-and you will be asleep in a few minutes. Those who are experts in relaxing with a book do not have to wait for nightfall. A comfortable chair in the library will do any time” BookEnoughLightCareReadingCausesWaitingDifficultSleepMinutesEventsPositionEasierBedComfortableLibraryBoringAwakeExpertsChairsStayingInadequateNightfall Book:How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading Source: How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading
“Having expressed the rage against the laws and conditions that oppressed them - maybe even excess anger in the beginning was directed at men they came in contact with, because it had been pent up too long - women now come from a new position of easier, more comfortable self-affirmation and empowerment. Women are given to tolerance and are more able to love. I hope it happens also to men.” MenLongSelfHappensAbleLawGivenConditionsPositionEasierComfortableEmpowermentRageToleranceContactExcessOppressedAffirmationSelf AffirmationNew Position Author:Betty Friedan

“I think there's no question that historians create; they would tell you that, I think. If I'm trying to imagine an imperial Roman position, it's much easier to imagine the poor schlub who's not even sure why he's doing what he's doing than it is to imagine Caesar. At least for me. And I'm intrigued, too, by the position of the poor schlub who *still* finds himself supporting the imperial project.” IfsThinkingTryingStillsPoorImaginePositionEasierProjectsHistorianIntrigued Author:Jim Shepard
