And yet it is one and the same motion: it is just that the load- bearing capacity of the earth differs from that of the water, and that that of the water differs from that of the air! Thus we should also learn to fly as thinkersand not imagine that we are thereby becoming idle dreamers!”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (18441900)
“The wildness and adventure that are in fishing still recommended it to me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
