It is well known that no person who regards his reputation will ever kill a trout with anything but a fly. It requires some training on the part of the trout to take to this method.
Charles Dudley Warner
Image
It's just that the longer I fish, the more I long for simplification and lightness.
Tom Sutcliffe

Slow travel now rivals the fly-to-Barcelona-for-lunch culture. Advocates savour the journey, travelling by train or boat or bicycle, or even on foot, rather than crammed into an airplane. They take time to plug into the local culture instead of racing through a list of tourist traps.
Carl Honore

I want to paint the air in which the bridge, the house and the boat are to be found - the beauty of the air around them, and that is nothing less than the impossible.
Claude Monet
Image
Something I like to do a lot is just sit by water when there’s a current and just stare into the water. I don’t fish, I don’t hunt, I don’t scuba, I don’t spear, don’t boat, don’t play basketball or football – I excel at staring into space. I’m really good at that.
Iggy Pop

Nothing gives me as much pleasure as travelling. I love getting on trains and boats and planes.
Alan Rickman
Image
It gets boring to me when people talk about clothing brands or what boat they’re going to buy next summer.
Natassia Malthe

The gospel is for lifeboats, not showboats, and a man must make up his mind which boat he is going to operate.
Vance Havner

We're all in the same boat and we all are going to catch the same hell from the same man.
Malcolm X

There is no more graceful and healthful accomplishment for a lady than fly-fishing, and there is no reason why a lady should not in every respect, rival a gentleman in the gentle art.
William Cowper Prime
Image
We cannot be free of nagging desires through suppression. This is like trying to keep a rubber boat beneath the water. But we remove compulsive desires altogether by understanding their nature.
Vernon Howard
Image
A collection of short stories is generally thought to be a horrendous clinker an enforced courtesy for the elderly writer who wants to display the trophies of his youth, along with his trout flies.
John Cheever
Image
Does a little fish, swimming though the net's eye, suffer from inferiority complex?
Stanislaw Jerzy Lec
Image
It’s better to think of my life like that— part miracle, part madness. It’s better if I accept that I can’t control any of the things that matter. My life is a trail of shipwrecks and set-sails. There are no arrivals, no destinations there are only sandbanks and shipwreck then another boat, another tide.
Jeanette Winterson
Image
An excellent angler, and now with God.
Izaak Walton
Image
A river is water is its loveliest form rivers have life and sound and movement and infinity of variation, rivers are veins of the earth through which the lifeblood returns to the heart
Roderick Haig-Brown
Image
Fishing is such great fun, I have often felt, that it really ought to be done in bed
John D. Voelker

I've seen a lot of 'Show Boats,' but I've never seen the one that thoroughly satisfies me.
Harold Prince
Image
I dislike boats, Ragnor observed, looking around. I get vilely seasick. The turning green joke was too easy. Magnus was not going to stoop to make it.
Cassandra Clare
Image
I love fishing. You put that line in the water and you don't know what's on the other end. Your imagination is under there.
Robert Altman
Image
I have to build my own boat this time. It's a big sea out there, and I have a pretty small boat. I have a lot of belief in it.
Brian May
Image
Seeker, empty the boat, lighten the load, be free of craving and judgment and hatred, and feel the joy of the way.
Gautama Buddha
Image
Appearance is everything. I find that a view is secondary. Even in those apartments on the East River, it's dull, looking out at those little boats.
Robert Denning
Image
Once you realize that everyone is in the same boat, that everyone is just as insecure and childlike as everyone else, that all these jokers in D.C. ruining our world are just greedy kids grabbing for marbles - I think that realization means you're an adult.
