I never understood why you would ever feel the need to shoot the fish in the barrel. I mean, they're in a barrel, you've already caught them. The hard work's done, they can't escape. So if you want them dead, just drain the water out. Why bring guns into it?
Craig Silvey
Image
So I am living without fats, without meat, without fish, but am feeling quite well this way. It always seems to me that man was not born to be a carnivore.
Albert Einstein
Image
What is significant in one's own existence one is hardly aware, and it certainly should not bother the other fellow. What does a fish know about the water in which he swims all his life?
Albert Einstein
Image
Fishing, Danny boy, is purely a state of mind. Some men, when they are fishing, are after fish. Me, I'm after things you could never set a barbed hook in.
William Kent Krueger

A man ... needs to get out in the open air and sweat and blow off the stink.
William Kittredge
Image
Fish is held out to be one of the greatest luxuries of the table and not only necessary, but even indispensable at all dinners where there is any pretence of excellence or fashion.
Isabella Beeton

When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can't eat money.
Alanis Obomsawin

If a fish is the movement of water embodied, given shape, then cat is a diagram and pattern of subtle air.
Doris Lessing
Image
As the fish doesn't know water, people are ignorant of space. Consciousness is concerned only with changing and varying details it ignores constants-especially constant backgrounds. Thus only very exceptional people are aware of what is basic to everything.
Alan Watts
Image
Ay, when fowls have no feathers and fish have no fin.
William Shakespeare
Image
The head of a Pike, served at supper, is said to have caused the death from terror of Theodoric the Goth, who imagined the fish's features to be those of Symmachus, a man he had just killed. But for this story, we of today would have no idea what Symmachus looked like.

'Sblood, you starveling, you elf-skin, you dried neat's tongue, you bull's pizzle, you stock-fish! O for breath to utter what is like thee! you tailor's-yard, you sheath, you bowcase you vile standing-tuck!
William Shakespeare
Image
A very ancient and fish-like smell.
William Shakespeare
Image
The fish in the water that is thirsty needs serious professional counseling
Kabir
Image
We must not stint Our necessary actions in the fear To cope malicious censurers, which ever, As rav'nous fishes, do a vessel follow That is new-trimmed, but benefit no further Than vainly longing.
William Shakespeare
Image
But fish not with this melancholy bait For this fool gudgeon, this opinion.
William Shakespeare
Image
Why, thou deboshed fish thou...Wilt thou tell a monstrous lie, being but half a fish and half a monster?
William Shakespeare
Image
The pleasant'st angling is to see the fish Cut with her golden oars the silver stream And greedily devour the treacherous bait.
William Shakespeare
Image
Give me mine angle, we'll to th' river: there, My music playing far off, I will betray Tawny-finned fishes. My bended hook shall pierce Their slimy jaws and as I draw them up, I'll think them every one an Antony, And say, 'Ah, ha! are caught!'
William Shakespeare
Image
There will be no end to angling controversies for there is no one best way for everyone to fish.
Lee Wulff
Image
She is nether fish nor flesh, nor good red herring.
John Heywood

If wishes were fishes, the world would be an ocean
Jim Ross

My work is being destroyed almost as soon as it is printed. One day it is being read the next day someone's wrapping fish in it.
Al Capp
Image
Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.
