Howard Frank Mosher quotes:

Baseball, of all sports, and maybe of all human endeavors, has no room for cynicism.

I've admired Bill Kauffman's books for years . . . appealing, elegantly written, and entirely American.

Faith without a measure of doubt ain't worth a brass farthin'.

Rick Bass is one of a dwindling handful of American fiction writers still celebrating the importance of place, the natural world, and the struggle of a few brave souls to live and work respectfully in what's left of our western wilderness...The Lives of Rocks is his most lyrical and powerful book to date...a masterwork.

There was a code, and though it was mostly unspoken, I absorbed it early on. You always put all the trout back in the water alive except for a few to eat. You didn't count your trout or call attention to their size or weight. You took time to watch and enjoy seeing your partners catch trout.

Faith without a measure of doubt ain't worth a brass farthin.
