"I am overwhelmed by the strength of my body and the power of my mind. For one moment, just one second, I feel immortal."
"I have an uncompromising relationship with my goals."

"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."
"This journey has always been about reaching your own other shore no matter what it is, and that dream continues."
"You're never too old to chase your dream."
"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."
"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."
