One of the unique things is that whether we were out at sea or in the middle of the water tank, a lot of times you just couldn't leave. Especially when we were out at sea.

But now Americans, they felt a sense of peace and protection because they've been separated by so many thousands of miles of ocean. And you know, the fact that it's come to the U.S. like this is so sad, and yet you know, what can you do? It's here.

When men come to like a sea-life, they are not fit to live on land.

The oceans are the last free place on the planet.

America lives in the heart of every man everywhere who wishes to find a region where he will be free to work out his destiny as he chooses.

I never liked going in the ocean.

We need to respect the oceans and take care of them as if our lives depended on it. Because they do.

I don't want to be the crazy woman who does it for years and years and years, and tries and fails and tries and fails and tries and fails, but I can swim from Cuba to Florida, and I will swim from Cuba to Florida.

If you wish to avoid foreign collision, you had better abandon the ocean.

What people don't understand is this is something that we only have in America. There is no other country in the world where the ordinary citizen can go out and enjoy hunting and fishing. There's no other nation in the world where that happens. And it's very much a part of our heritage.
