Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton Quotes

Though No Participator In The Joy Of More Vehement Sport, I Have A Pleasure That I Cannot Reconcile To My Abstract Notions Of The Tenderness Due To Dumb Creatures In The Tranquil Cruelty Of Angling. I Can Only Palliate The Wanton Destructiveness Of My Amusement By Trying To Assure Myself That My Pleasure Does Not Spring From The Success Of The Treachery I Practise Toward A Poor Little Fish, But Rather From That Innocent Revelry In The Luxuriance Of Summer Life Which Only Anglers Enjoy To The Utmost.
