Diana Nyad Quotes

It’s not too late, I can still live my dreams Picture Quote #1

For previous generations, swimming the English Channel was the feat to accomplish. And that’s been done Picture Quote #1

Swimming is probably the ultimate of burnout sports. It’s ironic because millions of people who swim as their regular exercise love the meditation aspect of it; you don’t wind up with any orthopedic injuries. But when you swim at a world class level for hours and hours - the loneness of the long distance runner Picture Quote #1

In swimming, especially training out in the ocean and open water, you got fogged-over goggles, you’re stuck with your own thoughts - there’s great benefits to that, deep thinking like that after many hours, but there’s also tremendous loneliness. You burn out. You want to run, jump, ski, do anything. So at age 30, I was finished Picture Quote #1

I do write all the time about - you tell me what your dreams are. What are you chasing? It’s not impossible. Name it Picture Quote #1

The most venomous animal that lives in the ocean is the box jellyfish. And every one of those barbs is sending that venom into this central nervous system. So first I feel like boiling hot oil I’ve been dipped in. And I’m yelling out, ‘Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Help me! Somebody help me!’ And the next thing is paralysis Picture Quote #1

The box jellyfish takes you into an area of what I’d call science fiction. You feel like you’ve been dipped in hot burning oil. You burst into flames Picture Quote #1

I grew up in Florida, so you start swimming at the age of 1, really. By 10, I was competitive swimming, and by 12, I had aspirations to be the best in the world Picture Quote #1

I swam. We made it, our team, from the rocks of Cuba to the beach of Florida, in squeaky-clean, ethical fashion Picture Quote #1

Endurance is not a young person’s game. I thought I might even be better at 60 than I was at 30. You have a body that’s almost as strong, but you have a much better mind Picture Quote #1

Every human being on this planet has their pain and their heartache and it’s up to all of us to find our way back to the light Picture Quote #1

The highs were high, the awe, I’m not a religious person, but I’ll tell you, to be in the azure blue of the Gulf Stream as if, as you’re breathing, you’re looking down miles and miles and miles, to feel the majesty of this blue planet we live on, it’s awe-inspiring Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The integrity and self-esteem gained from winning the battle against extremity are the richest treasures in my life Picture Quote #1

When I walk up on that shore in Florida, I want millions of those AARP sisters and brothers to look at me and say, ‘I’m going to go write that novel I thought it was too late to do. I’m going to go work in Africa on that farm that those people need help at. I’m going to adopt a child. It’s not too late, I can still live my dreams.’ Picture Quote #1

Swimming is probably the ultimate of burnout sports Picture Quote #1

But for each of us, isn’t life about determining your own finish line? Picture Quote #1

You’re never too old to chase your dream Picture Quote #1

From age eleven to age sixteen I lived a spartan life without the usual adolescent uncertainty. I wanted to be the best swimmer in the world, and there was nothing else Picture Quote #1

I am interested in the unknown, and the only path to the unknown is through breaking barriers, an often painful process Picture Quote #1

When you reach for the horizon, as I’ve proven, you may not get there, but what a tremendous build of character and spirit that you lay down. What a foundation you lay down in reaching for those horizons Picture Quote #1

Every human being on this planet has their pain and their heartache and it’s up to all of us to find our way back to the light Picture Quote #1

You have a dream and you have obstacles in front of you as we all do. None of us ever get through this life without heartache, without turmoil, and if you believe and you have faith and you can get knocked down and get back up again and you believe in perseverance as a great human quality, you find your way Picture Quote #1

I wanted to teach myself some life lessons at the age of 60 and one of them was that you don’t give up Picture Quote #1

My mom just died. We blink and another decade passes. I don’t want to reach the end of my life and regret not having given my days everything in me to make them worthwhile Picture Quote #1

I am overwhelmed by the strength of my body and the power of my mind. For one moment, just one second, I feel immortal Picture Quote #1

If you want to touch the other shore badly enough, barring an impossible situation, you will. If your desire is diluted for any reason, you’ll never make it Picture Quote #1

This journey has always been about reaching your own other shore no matter what it is, and that dream continues Picture Quote #1

I am willing to put myself through anything; temporary pain or discomfort means nothing to me as long as I can see that the experience will take me to a new level Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
