Quotes About Fishing

To tell the truth, fishermen remain always boys as far as their amusement goes.
~ Harold Russell

I am also planning to leave a lot of things undone. Part of life's mystery depends on future possibilities, and mystery is an elusive quality which evaporates when sampled frequently, to be followed by boredom.

I want no part of destroying fishing as a mysterious sport.
~ Michael Collins

In the Java Sea in Indonesia, I have seen fishers going out in the morning, six of them going out and coming back with five pounds of fish. That is the end point, a pound of fish per person per day to sell for rice. That's where fisheries go if you let it happen. That's where it stabilizes. These people cannot feed their families.
~ Daniel Pauly
Da was a real fisherman. But it wasn't the catch that mattered, it was the skill of the cast, the preparation of the flies. I often think my inability to prepare, my desire to get going, are a direct result of watching my father making all those painstaking preparations before he cast his line.
~ Terry Wogan

Many fishermen "fin" sharks—that is, slice their fins off, then dump them back into the water to die.
~ Bill Bryson
Night fishing is best, when the fish are drawn to play in spots of bright Moonlight and are easy to see.
~ Susanna Clarke
Fishing provides that connection with the whole living world. It gives you the opportunity of being totally immersed, turning back into yourself in a good way. A form of meditation, some form of communion with levels of yourself that are deeper than the ordinary self.
~ Ted Hughes
If you introduce kids to fishing, they become good citizens.
~ Rex Hunt
When I came to the high-performance arena, I was kind of a one-off in a lot of ways. I was as much an iron man as much as I was a cricketer. Having surfed, fished, hunted, that was just a natural thing.
~ Matthew Hayden

Fishing cooperatives,
~ Frans de Waal
Now you may have gotten the impression that there are absolutely no uses for Librarians. I'm sorry if I implied that. Librarians are very useful. For instance, they are useful if you are fishing for sharks and need some bait. They're also useful for throwing out windows to test the effects of concrete impact on horn-rimmed glasses. If you have enough Librarians, you can build bridges out of them. (Just like witches.) And, unfortunately, they are also useful for organizing things.
~ Brandon Sanderson
Toat? lumea omoar? pe toat? lumea într-un fel sau altul. Pescuitul m? omoar? în aceeaÈ™i m?sur? în care m? È›ine în via??.
~ Hemingway Ernest
Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in
~ Henry David Thoreau
This man is still a fisher, and belongs to an era in which I myself have lived. Perchance he is not confounded by many knowledges, and has not sought out many inventions, but how to take many fishes before the sun sets, with slender birchen pole and flaxen line, that is invention enough for him.
~ Henry David Thoreau
I found in myself, and still find, an instinct toward a higher, or, as it is named, spiritual life, as do most men, and another toward a primitive rank and savage one, and I reverence them both. I love the wild not less than the good. The wildness and adventure that are in fishing still recommended it to me. I like sometimes to take rank hold on life and spend my day more as the animals do.
~ Henry David Thoreau
