Water Ski

Famous quotes containing the words water and/or ski:

    “I think of the nestling fallen into the deep grass,
    The turtle gasping in the dusty rubble of the highway,
    The paralytic stunned in the tub, and the water rising,—
    All things innocent, hapless, forsaken.”
    —Theodore Roethke (1908–1963)

    “The goal for all blind skiers is more freedom. You don’t have to see where you’re going, as long as you go. In skiing, you ski with your legs and not with your eyes. In life, you experience things with your mind and your body. And if you’re lacking one of the five senses, you adapt.”
    —Lorita Bertraun, Blind American skier. As quoted in WomenSports magazine, p. 29 (January 1976)
