• Yes, I actually have a portable fly-tying kit in my vest. I spent hours putting it all together, with a special emphasis on midge materials as well as enough fur and feathers to whip out a half dozen of virtually every conceivable dry pattern nature can throw at me. I have used it once, in 1993.

• Cats don't bark and act brave when they see something small in fur or feathers, they kill it. Dogs tend to bravado. They're braggarts. In the great evolutionary drama the dog is Sergeant Bilko, the cat is Rambo.

• To travel like a bird, lightly to view | Deserts where stone gods founder in the sand, | Ocean embraced in a white sleep with land; | To escape time, always to start anew... | Hooded by a dark sense of destination... | Travelers, we're fabric of the road we go; We settle, but like feathers on time's flow.

  Cecil Day-Lewis

• Cambié a mi nuevo entrenador Abel Sánchez para añadir versatilidad a mi juego. Vengo a pelear en serio. Si lo noqueo, será un triunfo más. Preveo una victoria, pero nunca busco el nocaut porque ese no es mi plan de juego. Si mis golpes acaban en nocaut, que así sea.

• We [USA and China] have a common responsibility with different numerical targets, and that's the situation ultimately we are going to have with China. We emit six times more per person than they do. It's hard to tell them to cut theirs in half right now until we start moving. Being the ostrich with your head in the sand and tail feathers in the air like some would have us to do while China continues to pollute is simply not an option.

• the test of a cook is how she boils an egg. My boiled eggs are fantastic, fabulous. Sometimes as hard as a 100 carat diamond, or again soft as a feather bed, or running like a cooling stream, they can also burst like fireworks from their shells and take on the look and rubbery texture of a baby octopus. Never a dull egg, with me.

• Cada vez que siento que se me erizan las plumas por el éxito de otra persona, tengo que controlarme. Normalmente está basado en el miedo o relacionado con el ego y es mi trabajo diario dejarlo pasar y centrarme en mí, porque es la única persona a la que puedo controlar y hacer crecer.

• In the late 1930s, both the British and American movie industries made a succession of films celebrating the decency of the British Empire in order to challenge the threatening tide of Nazism and fascism and also to provide employment for actors from Los Angeles's British colony. The best two were Hollywood's Gunga Din and Britain's The Four Feathers...

• Me aficioné a los animales dibujando folículos pilosos. Me gustaba dibujar pelo, y de ahí pasé a plumas y pelaje, y luego a imágenes de animales. El patrón es el mismo, pero las proporciones del cuerpo cambian de un animal a otro. Gran parte es geometría y conciencia.

• Los Juegos Olímpicos son para "la juventud del mundo", pero los organizan y puntúan los países. No es de extrañar que los países los traten como vehículos de orgullo nacional y asuman que su gente estará más interesada en sus propios atletas. Así que todos los que se estaban preparando para escribir una carta, un blog o un artículo de opinión sobre la cobertura machista de la NBC: ¡no se molesten! En realidad, están más por encima de los problemas que la mayoría. Además, su cobertura no se emite en ningún sitio excepto en Estados Unidos -lo sé, es porque no puedo conseguirlo que estoy viendo la Pistola de Aire Femenina-, así que no puedo irritar a nadie en ningún otro sitio.

• If the creatures with fur/feathers/fins are our brothers in a lower stage of development then their very weakness and inability to protest, demands that man should refrain from torturing them for the mere possibility of obtaining some knowledge which he believes may be to his own interest.

• All the poets are indebted more or less to those who have gone before them; even Homer's originality has been questioned, and Virgil owes almost as much to Theocritus, in his Pastorals, as to Homer, in his Heroics; and if our own countryman, Milton, has soared above both Homer and Virgil, it is because he has stolen some feathers from their wings.

• This is what art is all about. It is weaving fabric from the feathers you have plucked from your own breast. But no one must ever see the process - only the finished bolt of goods. They must never suspect that that crimson thread running through the pattern is blood.

  Katherine Paterson

• Our respect for the dead, when they are just dead, is something wonderful, and the way we show it more wonderful still. We show it with black feathers and black horses; we show it with black dresses and black heraldries; we show it with costly obelisks and sculptures of sorrow, which spoil half of our beautiful cathedrals. We show it with frightful gratings and vaults, and lids of dismal stone, in the midst of the quiet grass; and last, and not least, we show it by permitting ourselves to tell any number of falsehoods we think amiable or credible in the epitaph.
