Laws are not made like lime twigs or nets, to catch everything that toucheth them; but rather like sea marks, to guide from shipwreck the ignorant passenger Picture Quote #1

The nets not stretched to catch the hawk, or kite, who do us wrong; but laid for those Who do us none at all Picture Quote #1

The smallest indivisible human unit is two people, not one; one is a fiction. From such nets of souls societies, the social world, human life springs Picture Quote #1

If wishes were fishes we’d all be throwing nets. If wishes were horses we’d all ride Picture Quote #1

In a previous life I wrote the software that controlled my physics experiments. That software had to deal with all kinds of possible failures in equipment. That is probably where I learned to rely on multiple safety nets inside and around my systems Picture Quote #1

Novelists... fashioning nets to sustain and support the reader as he falls helplessly through the chaos of his own existence Picture Quote #1

Logic is immaturity weaving its nets of gossamer wherewith it aims to catch the behemoth of knowledge. Logic is a crutch for the cripple, but a burden for the swift of foot and a greater burden still for the wise Picture Quote #1

I see shining fish struggling within tight nets, while I hear orioles singing carefree tunes. Even trivial creatures know the difference between freedom and bondage. Sympathy and compassion should be but natural to the human heart Picture Quote #1

Don’t play it safe. Resist the seductions of the cowardly values our society has come to prize so highly: comfort, convenience, security, predictability, control. These, too, are nets. Above all, resist the fear of failure. Yes, you will make mistakes. But they will be your mistakes, not someone else’s. And you will survive them, and you will know yourself better for having made them, and you will be a fuller and a stronger person Picture Quote #1

The kinds of nets we know how to weave determine the kinds of nets we cast. These nets, in turn, determine the kinds of fish we catch Picture Quote #1

Hospitality, or flinging wide the door to friends and wayfarers alike, was once important, back in a world without motels or safety nets, where a friend might find his castle burnt down or a wayfarer find bandits on his trail Picture Quote #1

Although fear in the right dosage and under the right circumstance protects us... imaginary fear offers straitjackets instead of lifejackets, nooses instead of safety nets Picture Quote #1

I’m a capitalist. I believe in capitalism. But capitalism only works if you have safety nets to deal with people who are naturally left behind and brutalized by it Picture Quote #1

Do not be afraid. Do not be satisfied with mediocrity. Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch Picture Quote #1

Outside the trees dragged their leaves like nets through the depths of the air; the sound of water was in the room and through the waves came the voices of birds singing Picture Quote #1

When a man is born... there are nets flung at it to hold it back from flight. You talk to me of nationality, language, religion. I shall try to fly by those nets Picture Quote #1

When the soul of a man is born in this country there are nets flown at it to hold it back from flight Picture Quote #1

Not to be too dramatic about it, that night I slept the sleep of the damned. I dreamt of turrets and craggy ledges where the windswept rain blew in from the ocean with the odor of violets. A pale woman in Elizabethan dress stood beside my bed and whispered in my ear that the bells would ring. An old salt in an oilcloth jacket sat atop a piling, mending nets with an awl, while far out at sea a tine aeroplane winged its way towards the setting sun Picture Quote #1

You carry your snare everywhere and spread your nets in all places. You allege that you never invited others to sin. You did not indeed, by your words, but you have done so by your dress and your deportment Picture Quote #1
