Swim

Famous quotes containing the word swim:

    To me, the sea is like a person—like a child that I’ve known a long time. It sounds crazy, I know, but when I swim in the sea I talk to it. I never feel alone when I’m out there.
    Gertrude Ederle (b. 1906)

    A million years of sensitive men dying for their dreams. For what? So you can swim and dance and play.
    David Duncan (b.1913)

    I love all men who dive. Any fish can swim near the surface, but it takes a great whale to go down stairs five miles or more; & if he don’t attain the bottom, why, all the lead in Galena can’t fashion the plummet that will.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
