Nymph Quotations
Reason is a supple nymph, and slippery as a fish by nature. She had as leave give her kiss to an absurdity any day, as to syllogistic truth. The absurdity may turn out truer.
David Herbert Lawrence
Every man needs two women: a quiet home-maker, and a thrilling nymph.
Iris Murdoch
So, when I say 'match the hatch', if the fish are taking the nymph, and you're actually producing a replica of a flying insect, you'll catch fresh air.
Rex Hunt
