Famous quotes containing the words dice and/or pool:

    “Often beneath the wave, wide from this ledge
    The dice of drowned men’s bones he saw bequeath
    An embassy.”
    —Hart Crane (1899–1932)

    “Just getting in the pool for seven straight hours is unbearable to me.... It’s grueling. There’s nothing physically pleasurable about it. If you’re doing a hard workout, you’re throwing up in the gutter. At night you cling to your pillow and just hope that your body revives before you have to go back and do it again.”
    —Diana Nyad (b. 1949)
