"It will be long . . .
It will be hard . . .
There will be no withdrawal"
To which WW added the tag line - WHO KNEW HE WAS A DIVER !!!
And so is born another contest. We are looking for an actual and untouched historical quote -- that if read in the right mind set could be taken for a quote about diving. You are not allowed to alter the quote and, of course, you must name who you are quoting. If the winning quote is cool enough to go on one of SD's hot T-shirts the winner gets a free shirt with their quote on it.

Yes diving is hard...or maybe its just hard NOT to dive!
Yes it can be long...or is that what happens when we wait too long to get wet?
and when I'm wreckdiving...there is NO withdrawel! And I know once you start diving...you will NEVER withdrawel from it!
Besides.... who said sex and diving weren't essentially the same?????

(William Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra Act v, Sc. 2)
That could be about sex too...
"It redoubleth joys and cutteth griefs in half."
(Francis Bacon, Essays "Of Friendship")
Again, possibly about sex...
"Liberty consists in doing what one desires."
(John Stuart Mill, Liberty Ch. 5)
That should do it for now.
