...anyone who chooses to make fishing his occupation solely for the money is in the wrong business. If no thrill is experienced in catching fish, no satisfaction in going to sea and returning to shore, no pride in exclaiming "I am a fisherman," then a life on the water will be unfulfilling, perhaps even unbearable. Among the unhappy with whom I am acquainted, perhaps the most miserable people are those who fish out of necessity rather than out of a love of the sea and the seafaring life.

All in all, I'd say,
the world is strangling.
And I, in my bed each night,
listen to my twenty shoes

with its hungry red mouth
to suck at my scars. — Anne Sexton
