I was perusing my library and came across this quote.

"Those who hunt (trap or fish) after the fashion of a philosopher, seeking to live for a while as a child of nature, will be blessed by the wind and the sun and will know a great peace nothing can upset or disturb." - Rutherford G. Montgomery

Those of us who do and have done this understand this quote, and we also know we cannot explain it to those who have never done it.


Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure

Theodore Roosevelt

Check out some of Jose Ortega y Gasset's quotes from his Meditations on Hunting.
