I just want to say three things. One, never, ever give up. Two, you’re never too old to chase your dreams. And three, it looks like a solitary sport, but it takes a team.
We’re getting old, and if you die, I wanna be the last person you see. Don’t die. But if you do, I’ll be right there with you.[to Diana]
There’s no one more Nyad than you.
The only one who gets to decide if I’m through is me.
The entire world is asleep. And even when they’re awake, they’re barely there. Laziness is contagious, and we’re supposed to just nod along like it’s normal that everyone’s just surrendered to a banal existence.
Some people say boring is underrated.
Low expectations are key to happiness.
Just because we’re on a one-way street hurtling towards death doesn’t mean that we have to succumb to mediocrity.
Watch now on:
Imagine knowing, in your bones, that you could do something that only you could do.[to Bonnie]
I’m not gonna stop. I’m free to keep trying.
I know that the world wants me to shut my mouth and sit down and wait to die, but I didn’t think you did.[Diana Nyad]Stop.[Bonnie Stoll]I can’t. I won’t. I will not accept defeat.[Diana Nyad]
I don’t wanna look back and feel like I could’ve fought harder. I hate that feeling.
