Terry Pratchett
“He wondered what kind of life it would be, having to keep swimming all the time to stay exactly in the same place. Pretty similar to his own, he decided.”
Terry Pratchett, The Color of Magic

Frederick Weisel
“There’s an old adage: the sensation of drowning reminds you of everything you ever knew about swimming.”
Frederick Weisel, Teller
