Fish Traps

Famous quotes containing the words fish and/or traps:

    Everything seems beautiful because you don’t understand. Those flying fish, they’re not leaping for joy, they’re jumping in terror. Bigger fish want to eat them. That luminous water, it takes its gleam from millions of tiny dead bodies, the glitter of putrescence. There’s no beauty here, only death and decay.
    Curtis Siodmak (1902–1988)

    The notion of making money by popular work, and then retiring to do good work, is the most familiar of all the devil’s traps for artists.
    Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
