• A healthy man, with steady employment, as wood-chopping at fifty cents a cord, and a camp in the woods, will not be a good subjectfor Christianity. The New Testament may be a choice book to him on some, but not on all or most of his days. He will rather go a-fishing in his leisure hours. The Apostles, though they were fishers too, were of the solemn race of sea-fishers, and never trolled for pickerel on inland streams.

• It's like a jumble of huts in a jungle somewhere. I don't understand how you can live there. It's really, completely dead. Walk along the street, there's nothing moving. I've lived in small Spanish fishing villages which were literally sunny all day long everyday of the week, but they weren't as boring as Los Angeles.

• What I notice, as a historian reading stories about so-called nature miracles, the walking on the water, or the miraculous catch of fishes, they're done especially for the insiders, for the disciples. Usually healings and exorcisms are done for people along the road, as it were. Jesus doesn't come on the water to save the fishing fleet from Capernaum, he comes on the water to save the disciples. It's a parable, dummy, it's a parable, don't you get it? If the leadership of the church takes off in a boat without Jesus, it will sink, it will get nowhere.

• Celebrity chefs are the leaders in the field of food, and we are the led. Why should the leaders of chemical businesses be held responsible for polluting the marine environment with a few grams of effluent, which is sublethal to marine species, while celebrity chefs are turning out endangered fish at several dozen tables a night without enduring a syllable of criticism?

• If I wrote at all, I must throw myself headlong into the great political maelstrom, and would of course be swallowed up like a fishing-boat in the great Norway horror which decorated our school geographies; for no woman had ever done such a thing, and I could never again hold up my head under the burden of shame and disgrace which would be heaped upon me. But what matter? I had no children to dishonor; all save one who had ever loved me were dead, and she no longer needed me, and if the Lord wanted some one to throw into that gulf, no one could be better spared than I.

• The only sure way of avoiding these evils [vanity and boasting] is never to speak of yourself at all. But when, historically, youare obliged to mention yourself, take care not to drop one single word that can directly or indirectly be construed as fishing for applause.

  Lord Chesterfield

• Along a stream that raced and ran
  Through tangled trees and over stones,
  That long had heard the pipes o' Pan
  And shared the joys that nature owns,
  I met a fellow fisherman,
  Who greeted me in cheerful tones.
  . . . .
  Foes think the bad in him they've guessed
  And prate about the wrong they scan;
  Friends that have seen him at his best
  Believe they know his every plan;
  I know him better than the rest,
  I know him as a fisherman.

• There's nothing that builds up a toil-weary soul
  Like a day on a stream,
  Back on the banks of the old fishing hole
  Where a fellow can dream.
  There's nothing so good for a man as to flee
  From the city and lie
  Full length in the shade of a whispering tree
  And gaze at the sky.
  . . . .
  It is good for the world that men hunger to go
  To the banks of a stream,
  And weary of sham and of pomp and of show
  They have somewhere to dream.
  For this life would be dreary and sordid and base
  Did they not now and then
  Seek refreshment and calm in God's wide, open space
  And come back to be men.
