"I sit in happy meditation upon my rock, pondering, while my line dries again, upon the ways of trout and men. How like fish we are : ready, nay eager, to seize upon whatever new thing some wind of circumstance shakes down upon the river of time! And how we rue our haste, finding the guilded morsel to contain a hook. Even so, I think there is some virtue in eagerness, whether its object is true or false. How utterly dull would be a wholly prudent man. or trout, or world!"---Aldo Leopold
