“There’s not a shirt and a half in all my company, and the half
shirt is two napkins tacked together and thrown over the
shoulders like a herald’s coat without sleeves.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“... the reason I keep doing it is for the tremendous rush I get at the end of any great swim.... there is ... nothing greater than touching the shore after crossing some great body of water knowing that I’ve done it with my own two arms and legs.... I’m overwhelmed by the strength of my body and the power of my mind. For one moment, just one second, I feel immortal.”
—Diana Nyad (b. 1949)
