Free Diving

Famous quotes containing the words free and/or diving:

“Most men, even in this comparatively free country, through mere ignorance and mistake, are so occupied with the factitious cares and superfluously coarse labors of life that its finer fruits cannot be plucked by them.

Points of diving feet together toes pointed hands shaped right
To insert her into water like a needle”
