“Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.”—Henry David Thoreau Few pastimes are more emblematic of mankind’s connection to nature and the great outdoors than fishing. A fishing trip can involve a simple afternoon’s trip down to a local river or pond, or deep forays into national parks and wilderness areas for days or weeks on end. Both bring man closer to nature, creating space and time for reflection and meditation. In Fishing Wisdom, wise, witty and offbeat quotes from the great and famous explore how fishing can become a metaphor for life. Famous contributors include the philosophers Henry David Thoreau and Søren Kierkegaard, writers Ernest Hemingway and Ted Hughes, and US presidents Jimmy Carter and Herbert Hoover. Beautifully produced in traditional Chinese binding, Fishing Wisdom offers more than 80 fishing-themed quotes to inspire, provoke and amuse.
