“Ideas,—are they the fishes of thought?”
—Henry David Thoreau, January 26, 1852

“Ideas are like fish. If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you’ve got to go deeper. Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure. They’re huge and abstract. And they’re very beautiful.”
—David Lynch, Catching The Big Fish
