Famous quotes containing the words lake, state and/or fish:

“This is my lake country.”

“A work in progress quickly becomes feral. It reverts to a wild state overnight. It is barely domesticated, a mustang on which you one day fastened a halter, but which now you cannot catch. It is a lion you cage in your study. As the work grows, it gets harder to control; it is a lion growing in strength. You must visit it every day and reassert your mastery over it. If you skip a day, you are, quite rightly, afraid to open the door to its room.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)

“Salerio. Why, I am sure if he forfeit thou wilt not take his flesh. What’s that good for?
Shylock. To bait fish withal—if it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
