Life: Want to Make Something Out of It?

Finally finding a little time to go through Jack’s papers. So much material, written and collected over the years. Here’s a series of quotes I found scribbled on the back of a bar tab, under the title written above…

  • As no man is born an artist, so no man is born an angler. Izaak Walton
  • I only make movies to support my fishing. Lee Marvin
  • Keep thy hook always baited, for a fish lurks ever in the most unlikely swim. Ovid
  • Imagination is more important than knowledge. Albert Einstein
  • I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. John Voelker
  • If people conentrated on the really important things in life, thereā€™d be a shortage of fishing poles. Doug Larson
  • Fly fishermen are born honest, but they soon get over it. Ed Zern
