Quotable
“I shall now confess to you that none of those three trout had to be beheaded, or folded double, to fit their casket. What was big was not the trout, but the chance. What was full was not my creel, but my memory.” Aldo Leopold, “A Sand County Almanac” from the essay “The Alder Fork —A Fishing Idyll”
