“It's as if someone bought all the diamonds at Tiffany's, and crushed them into dust, then spread that dust across the water so that it sifts down evenly, filtering through the shards of light that cut into the depth.

"Swimming is the reset button," Pallas used to say, "swimming starts the day again.”
― Ann Patchett, Tom Lake
