Wim Quotes

She kept swimming out into life because she hadn’t yet found a rock to stand on Picture Quote #1

If you ever feel useless, just remember that there is a lifeguard at the swimming Olympics Picture Quote #1

Nobody teaches the sun to rise, a fish to swim, a bird to fly, a plant to grow, or a child to cry, and nobody teaches me to love you, I just do Picture Quote #1

We have learned to fly the air like birds and swim the sea like fish, but we have not learned the simple art of living together as brothers. Our abundance has brought us neither peace of mind nor serenity of spirit Picture Quote #1

She was never so petty. She did not dabble with minnows at the surface when there were thirty pound salmon swimming deeper down Picture Quote #1

If you want to learn to swim jump into the water. On dry land no frame of mind is ever going to help you Picture Quote #1

Yes, here I am returning, the woman who bore herself to the bottom and back. Who wanted to swim like dolphins, leaping waves and diving. Who wanted only to belong to herself Picture Quote #1

When you have to cope with a lot of problems, you’re either going to sink or you’re going to swim Picture Quote #1

There is no way to be truly great in this world. We are impaled on the crook of conditioning. A fish that is in the water has no choice that he is. Genius would have it that we swim in sand. We are fish and we drown Picture Quote #1

I can’t even dial one phone number right away. But you strained your own body to go and see them. I was surprised. The frightened little me had always wondered how to swim through the vast ocean, but you didn’t even want a ship. You wanted wings. I thought you were amazing Picture Quote #1

She had a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach, like when you’re swimming and you want to put your feet down on something solid, but the water’s deeper than you think and there’s nothing there Picture Quote #1

She told me her father taught her to live life way beyond the cusp of it, way out in the outer reaches where most people never had the guts to go, where you got hurt. Where there was unimaginable beauty and pain... They were always reminding themselves to stop measuring life in coffee spoons, mornings and afternoons, to keep swimming way, way down to the bottom of the ocean to find where the mermaids sang, each to each. Where there was danger and beauty and light. Only the now Picture Quote #1

Today I saw cancer, cigarettes, and shortness of breath. This is why I walk to the ocean. Swim with sharks and jellyfish. I may never get this chance again. This is why if you want to kiss, you should kiss. If you want to cry, you should cry. And if you want to live, you should live. You don’t have to love me. You already did Picture Quote #1

Communication is the essential medium of a creative culture: the communal sea in which we all swim. A company that can’t communicate is like a jazz band without instruments: Music just isn’t going to happen Picture Quote #1

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, writers will go to stupefying lengths to get the infernal roar of words out of their skulls and onto paper Picture Quote #1

I swim with all my strength. No superhuman surge, or pony heroics; it’s just me at my most desperate Picture Quote #1

The only use for a knife during a shark attack is pure treachery: Stab your buddy, swim like hell, and hope the munchies take him Picture Quote #1

I started swimming when I was four because my brother wanted to join a swim team, and I wanted to do what he did. They said I had to be six, but if I could swim a lap, then I could participate. So I swam a lap, and the rest is history Picture Quote #1

Practice, practice, practice in speaking before an audience will tend to remove all fear of audiences, just as practice in swimming will lead to confidence and facility in the water. You must learn to speak by speaking Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to film underwater. It really is tricky. You don’t have goggles, so you can’t see anything. You don’t know where you’re swimming to. Everything’s blurry Picture Quote #1

Take it from a guy: If you’re in love with somebody, you will swim the stream, you will climb the mountain, you will slay the dragon. You’re going to get to her somehow, some way Picture Quote #1

Independent will is our capacity to act. It gives us the power to transcend our paradigms, to swim upstream, to rewrite our scripts, to act based on principle rather than reacting based on emotion or circumstance Picture Quote #1

I watch the ashes swim around like dandelion puffs, making swirls where bodies and walls once stood Picture Quote #1

No matter what grief or loss takes place, most of life flows on all around us, as though nothing’s changed. At some point in our sorrow, we each make a choice to sink or swim. There’s no alternative Picture Quote #1

How do you learn to pray? Well how do you learn to swim? Do you sit in a chair with your feet up drinking coke learning to swim? You get down and you struggle. That’s how you learn to pray Picture Quote #1

Guinea Pigs are natural swimmers, but have to be introduced to the water slowly so they don’t panic Picture Quote #1

I’ve decided that if I had my life to live over again, I would not only climb more mountains, swim more rivers, and watch more sunsets; I wouldn’t only jettison my hot water bottle, raincoat, umbrella, parachute, and raft; I would not only go barefoot earlier in the spring and stay out later in the fall; but I would devote not one more minute to monitoring my spiritual growth. No, not one Picture Quote #1

Just as an octopus may have his den in some ocean cave, and come floating out a silent image of horror to attack a swimmer, so I picture such a spirit lurking in the dark of the house which he curses by his presence, and ready to float out upon all whom he can injure Picture Quote #1

I am interested in people who swim in the deep end. I want to have conversations about real things with people who have experienced real things. I’m tired of talking about movies and gossiping about friends. Life is crunchy and complicated and all the more delicious Picture Quote #1

Be present. Make love. Make tea. Avoid small talk. Embrace conversation. Buy a plant, water it. Make your bed. Make someone else’s bed. Have a smart mouth, and quick wit. Run. Make art. Create. Swim in the ocean. Swim in the rain. Take chances. Ask questions. Make mistakes. Learn. Know your worth. Love fiercely. Forgive quickly. Let go of what doesn’t make you happy. Grow Picture Quote #1
