Benjamin Alire Sáenz
“Water was something he loved, something he respected. He understood its beauty and its dangers. He talked about swimming as if it were a way of life.”
Benjamin Alire Sáenz, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

Terry Pratchett
“Can you swim?" said Victor. One of the cavern's rotting pillars crashed down behind them. From the pit itself came a terrible wailing.
"Not very well," said Ginger.
"Me neither," he said. The commotion behind them was getting worse.
"Still," he said, taking her hand. "We could look on this as a great opportunity to improve really quickly.”
Terry Pratchett, Moving Pictures
