Drowning Quotes

Just as drowning cannot be equated with swimming, mere existence is not the same as abundant life. We have been offered a new way to live – a new way to be human Picture Quote #1

Our world, so we see and hear on all sides, is drowning in materialism, commercialism, consumerism. But the problem is not really there. What we ordinarily speak of as materialism is a result, not a cause. The root of materialism is a poverty of ideas about the inner and the outer world. Less and less does our contemporary culture have, or even seek, commerce with great ideas, and it is that lack that is weakening the human spirit. This is the essence of materialism. Materialism is a disease of the mind starved for ideas Picture Quote #1

At the moment developing a nice little inoffensive cancer somewhere on dry land seemed infinitely preferable to what she was grimly convinced was soon to be her death by drowning way too far out at sea Picture Quote #1

I can’t swim but if my girlfriend was drowning, I’d still dive in to save her Picture Quote #1

In our modern world today, we may seem like drowning men because of the loss of much of our spiritual tradition Picture Quote #1

There is nothing more painful than the untimely death of someone young and dear to the heart. The harrowing grief surges from a bottomless well of sorrow, drowning the mourner in a torrent of agonizing pain; an exquisite pain that continues to afflict the mourner with heartache and loneliness long after the deceased is buried and gone Picture Quote #1

My experience as a young actor on network television was that I couldn’t make it work. I was drowning as an actor Picture Quote #1

Although sometimes I know it seems impossible, there ain’t no need in drowning in your sorrow. If things are as bad as they can be, you can be sure there’ll be a brighter tomorrow Picture Quote #1

We are drowning in images. Photography is used as a propaganda tool, which serves to sell products and ideas. I use the same approach to show aspects of reality Picture Quote #1

Two drowning people can’t save each other. All they can do is drag each other down Picture Quote #1

Ah, love is a voyage with water and a star, in drowning air and squalls of precipitate bran; love is a war of lights in the lightning flashes, two bodies blasted in a single burst of honey Picture Quote #1

What worse can happen to a man than to have been born? It’s like asking a man who is drowning whether he is not afraid of getting wet Picture Quote #1

To a writer, madness is a final distillation of self, a final editing down. It’s the drowning out of false voices Picture Quote #1

I’ve died so many times. I’m 65. On my 40th birthday, my girlfriend gave me a reel with ways I had died, whether it was by knife, or electrocution or drowning or being thrown off a building or whatever it might have been. I’ve died a lot of times! Picture Quote #1

... sometimes you have to deal / Devilishly with drowning men in order to swim them to shore Picture Quote #1

You must cry out if you want help. It is no use whatsoever to suffer in silence. Who will succour the drowning man if he does not clamour for his life? Picture Quote #1

People today are in danger of drowning in information; but, because they have been taught that information is useful, they are more willing to drown than they need be. If they could handle information, they would not have to drown at all Picture Quote #1

When I love, I love: wholly, thoroughly, completely, drowning in everything. Every glance can be a conversation, eyes just playing and saying what needs to be said. Silence is loud, and the air becomes heavy. I want you. I want all of you Picture Quote #1

Most people go to the office and sit at a desk. When firefighters go to the office, we might birth a baby in the morning, save a drowning surfer in the afternoon, and run into a fire at night. What could be more interesting than that? Picture Quote #1

I’m always looking for sounds that are pleasing at the time. The sound of a helicopter is really annoying until you’re drowning, and it’s there to rescue you. Then it sounds like music Picture Quote #1

Falling in love with another man is like falling into a vast vat of yourself. For some men this is ultimately nourishing, for others... it is drowning Picture Quote #1

No one wants to drown. Drowning would be the worst. Cause everyone knows that feeling. That feeling, oh it’s the worst... when you think you’re drowning Picture Quote #1

A lifevest protects you from drowning and a bulletproof vest protects you from getting shot, and a sweater vest protects you from pretty girls Picture Quote #1

If your lifeguard duties were as good as your singing, a lot of people would be drowning Picture Quote #1

It is a mistake that there is no bath that will cure people’s manners, but drowning would help Picture Quote #1

They were watching, out there past men’s knowing, where stars are drowning and whales ferry their vast souls through the black and seamless sea Picture Quote #1

You can’t have intentions without consequences. The question is, who pays for the consequences? Saving fish from drowning. Same thing. Who’s saved? Who’s not? Picture Quote #1
