“If you don't want to sink, you better figure out how to swim”
“You can't cling to the side your whole life, that one lesson every parent needs to teach a child is "If you don't want to sink, you better figure out how to swim”
“If you're drowning for real, and nobody believes you, then you sure as hell better figure out how to swim.”
“You better start swimming, or you'll sink like a stone. Because the Time's they are a-changing.”
“I looked at the sweatshirt again. "'You swim' is a philosophy?" He shrugged. "Better than 'you sink', right?”
“Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say.”
