“Of everyone here, you are the fish I would like to catch.”

“Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you’ve got to go deeper. Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure.They’re huge and abstract. And they’re very beautiful.”

“Even if I were trying to catch a husband I would never fish in shallow waters.”

“All these anglers who claim that catching fish is secondary, that it’s the trip and being outdoors that counts, they are just liars! If you go fishing, you want to catch fish! If the fish didn’t matter, you might as well stay on the beach barbecuing sausages.”

“If our father had had his way, nobody who did not knowhow to fish would be allowed to disgrace a fish by catching him.”

“Though everyone I knew seemed to be either settling down or looking to settle down, I was never on a deep-sea fishing expedition to find a boyfriend. And a "great catch," well, that seemed to be begging for heartache.”
