Quotes by Lynn Sherr (?)

“I’ve discovered that half the people would love to go into space, and there’s no need to explain it to them. The other half can’t understand, and I couldn’t explain it to them. If someone doesn’t know why, I can’t explain it.”
― Lynn Sherr, Sally Ride: America's First Woman in Space

“Swimming is my salvation. Ask me in the middle of winter, or at the end of a grueling day, or after a long stretch at the computer, where I’d most like to be, and the answer is always the same: in the water, gliding weightless, slicing a silent trail through whatever patch of blue I can find.”
― Lynn Sherr, Swim: Why We Love the Water

“For the woman who swelters in her kitchen or lolls in a drawing room, for the man who sits half his life in an office chair, an occasional swim does as much good as six months’ vacation. That weary feeling goes away for once in the cool, quiet water. Tired men and tired women forget that stocks and cakes have fallen.”
