Famous quotes containing the words swim and/or bladders:
“Like the shark, it contains a shoe.
It must swim for miles through the desert
Uttering cries that are almost human.”

“Mountains of Whimseys, heaped in his own Brain,
Stumbling from thought to thought, falls headlong down
Into Doubt’s boundless Sea, where like to drown,
Books bear him up a while, and make him try
To swim with Bladders of Philosophy,”
—John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)
