Swim

Famous quotes containing the word swim:

“Men are afraid to rock the boat in which they hope to drift safely through life’s currents, when, actually, the boat is stuck on a sandbar. They would be better off to rock the boat and try to shake it loose, or, better still, jump in the water and swim for the shore.”
—Thomas Szasz (b. 1920)

“The soul establishes itself.
But how far can it swim out through the eyes
And still return safely to its nest?”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)

“Like the shark, it contains a shoe.
It must swim for miles through the desert
Uttering cries that are almost human.”
—Louis Simpson (b. 1923)
