Wim Quotes

I stood looking down through the beech trees. When I threw a stone I could count to five before the splash. Then I jumped in a rush of gold to the head, through black and cold, red and cold, brown and warm, giving water the weight and size of myself in order to imagine it, water with my bones, water with my mouth and my understanding. When my body was in some way a wave to swim in, one continuous fin from head to tail, I steered through rapids like a canoe, digging my hands in, keeping just ahead of the river Picture Quote #1

If it doesn’t swim, run, or fly, or isn’t green and grow in the ground, don’t eat it Picture Quote #1

Every day we’re given a choice: We can relax and float in the direction that the water flows, or we can swim hard against it. If we go with the river, the energy of a thousand mountain streams will be with us... if we resist the river, we will feel rankled and tired as we tread water, stuck in the same place Picture Quote #1

Communication is the essential medium of a creative culture: the communal sea in which we all swim. A company that can’t communicate is like a jazz band without instruments: Music just isn’t going to happen Picture Quote #1

The fact that the same proportionalities rule optimal running, flying and swimming is not a coincidence rather it is an illustration of the fact that a universal principle is involved. Running requires the least food when during each cycle a certain amount of work is destroyed by vertical impact and a certain amount to horizontal friction. The same balancing act is responsible for optimal flight and swimming Picture Quote #1

I wanted to get the fastest time in the world this year, but with everything going on, it’s a pretty decent swim,... I knew I was under world record pace. You could tell by the crowd. You can always tell at these meets when something good is going on because of the crowd Picture Quote #1

We are never far from the lilt and swirl of living water. Whether to fish or swim or paddle, of only to stand and gaze, to glance as we cross a bridge, all of us are drawn to rivers, all of us happily submit to their spell. We need their familiar mystery. We need their fluent lives interflowing with our own Picture Quote #1

This pen is my only outlet, my only voice, because I have no one else to speak to, no mind but my own to drown in and all the lifeboats are taken and all the life preservers are broken and I don’t know how to swim I can’t swim I can’t swim and it’s getting so hard. It’s getting so hard. It’s like there are a million screams caught inside of my chest but I have to keep them all in because what’s the point of screaming if you’ll never be heard and no one will ever hear me in here. No one will ever hear me again Picture Quote #1

I feel it’s important to be active. People who retire, sit by their swimming pool and golf course and plan to relax have a very empty life Picture Quote #1

I dislike organized games, swimming pools, fashionable resorts, night clubs, music in restaurants, and political manifestoes; I enjoy driving from coast to coast, good food and drink, a few friends, dogs, the theatre, long walks, music and free conversation Picture Quote #1

In looking for my mind, I discovered that it seems to be in many different places. Sometimes it is drinking a glass of water, remembering swimming in the summer, feeling the breeze. In this contemplation I observed that the self is more elusive than I thought Picture Quote #1

Sometimes it was easier to swim with the current rather than fight against it. There was always a shallow pool somewhere ahead. Memories are like battles, and battles can go one way or the other. You can stand and fight, no matter what pains run from you wounds; or you can turn tail and run, knowing then that the enemy will follow and without mercy hunt you down. We had so many dreams as children. Where do they all go when we grow? Are they swallowed up by the mundane things of everyday life? Or do we lose them, leave them behind us in the dust, for new children to find and take up? Picture Quote #1

I can’t really do the running on hard ground that I used to do. Instead I go swimming as often as possible Picture Quote #1

After the clinch, it doesn’t matter what happens, one way or another, we’re going to hit the ground, and we’ll be in my world. The ground is my ocean, I’m the shark, and most people don’t even know how to swim Picture Quote #1

The child is born speaking the languages of birds; the child has horns and scales and wings; it has a beak; it has a cloven hoof. He is the sum of all creatures: the ones that swim, the ones that soar, the ones that leap, the ones that maze the earth with burrows Picture Quote #1

God’s way of dealing with us is to throw us into situations over our depth, then supply us with the necessary ability to swim Picture Quote #1

Humankind is able to create new conditions, a new reality. We are not fated to swim forever among the realities that are here now... Everything that is worthwhile in human civilization has not only originated from but has been inspired by dreams, by imagination Picture Quote #1

In town and in country there must be landscapes where we can walk in safety, pick fruit, cycle, work, sleep, swim, listen to the birds, bask in the sun, run through the trees and laze beside cool waters Picture Quote #1

I’ve swum for my country, I’ve swum for my coaches and my schools and my teams. I decided this time I was going to swim for myself Picture Quote #1

Great ideas are fish in a stream. Your pen/pencil is a spear. If you don’t spear them, they’ll swim on by. Be ready Picture Quote #1

If I’m on holiday, I’m active on the beach, I play tennis, I run, I swim a lot. It’s just about making the workouts fun, I think, and then it doesn’t really feel that bad Picture Quote #1

I used to go to the gym regularly and swim an awful lot, but that was when I was unemployed and knew leisure intimately Picture Quote #1

I like to exercise. I always walk an hour a day, I swim 250 days a year and I do balancing exercises which take me an hour Picture Quote #1

When I’m preparing for a swim, I imagine absolutely everything about it: the color of the water, how cold it is, the taste of salt in my mouth. I visualize each and every stroke Picture Quote #1

I like sports, and swimming is my favorite. Doing physical exercises keeps one fit and healthy and helps one work more efficiently. I think we all need to strike a balance between work and relaxation. This can keep us energetic and help us do our job better Picture Quote #1

Endurance, after all, is the only reason we even exist. We think of ourselves as nature’s deadliest animals, but the truth is, a naked human is the biggest wimp in the wild. We have no fangs, no claws, no strength, and no speed Picture Quote #1

In particular, I found praying very disturbing, like swimming with bricks tied to your feet. And yet I was drawn to it constantly Picture Quote #1

I never learned to ride a bicycle, and it is too late now. I never learned to drive. I never learned to swim Picture Quote #1

$If you walk along the street you will encounter a number of scientific problems. Of these, about 80 per cent are insoluble, while 19½ per cent are trivial. There is then perhaps half a per cent where skill, persistence, courage, creativity and originality can make a difference. It is always the task of the academic to swim in that half a per cent, asking the questions through which some progress can be made Picture Quote #1$

In the hospital, I promised myself that I ever walked again, that I would eat well and swim every day Picture Quote #1
