“...most men and women will yield to the strong currents sucking them into the seas of ruin. Only the strongest in mind and spirit will swim against that current.”
“Those are some strong currents you're swimming against.”
“The current of my mind carried me swiftly into the open sea.”
“It was like swimming against a current that swept you backwards however hard you struggled, and then suddenly deciding to turn round and go with the current instead of opposing it. Nothing had changed except your own attitude: the predestined thing happened in any case.”
“On matters of style, swim with the current, on matters of principle, stand like a rock.”
“I only know as much about myself as my mind can work out under its current conditions. And its current conditions are not good.”
