Famous quotes containing the words body and/or slides:
“... the reason I keep doing it is for the tremendous rush I get at the end of any great swim.... there is ... nothing greater than touching the shore after crossing some great body of water knowing that I’ve done it with my own two arms and legs.... I’m overwhelmed by the strength of my body and the power of my mind. For one moment, just one second, I feel immortal.”
—Diana Nyad (b. 1949)
“Lovers should guard their strangeness. If they forgive too much, all slides into confusion and meanness.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
