Famous quotes containing the words history, fly, fishing and/or trout:
“I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“The fly that does not want to be swatted is safest if it sits on the fly-swat.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“From time immemorial the men of the town have been famous seamen, and have divided their energies between fishing and hating the English.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“The heart beats thick,
Big trout muscle out of the dead cold;”
—Ted Hughes (b. 1930)
