About this Quote

This quote by country music legend Loretta Lynn talks to the concept of going against the norm in order to survive. In nature, it is not typical to capture salmon while they are swimming upstream to spawn, as they are focused on their reproductive journey. However, if one is hungry and in need of nourishment, they might break this natural pattern and capture the salmon. This can be viewed as a metaphor for life, where in some cases we need to go against the anticipated or traditional course in order to fulfill our basic needs. It likewise highlights the durability and resourcefulness of individuals in difficult situations. In general, this quote encourages us to believe outside package and do what is needed to endure, even if it breaks the norm.
