“Some people are under the impression that all that is required to make a good fisherman is the ability to tell lies easily and without blushing; but this is a mistake. Mere bald fabrication is useless; the veriest tyro can manage that. It is in the circumstantial detail, the embellishing touches of probability, the general air of scrupulous—almost of pedantic—veracity, that the experienced angler is seen.”

—John Michael Hayes (b. 1919)
“I fear that I have not got much to say about Canada, not having seen much; what I got by going to Canada was a cold.”
