The Solent was one the worse stretches of sea in England; the current and tides were atrocious, but it was summer and this time the currents and tides were predictable. However, I did not know this; I picked a spot that I could see from the phone, where I would swim from. ~ Stephen Richards
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Richards
As dawn saw the lights of the mainland go out, I swam harder, pulling out all the stops in my swimming repertoire, even using my head to push the water aside. My tired muscles screamed at me to stop, but I took no notice and there, a few hundred yards away was what I could see was the shoreline, my pace doubled. ~ Stephen Richards
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Richards
Time since my escape ticked by and the voices came to me. God Almighty and the Devil coaxed me onwards and stated that the edge of the forest was close at hand. The voices told me that they would search for me by air and put screws on the points and docks where there was access to the mainland. The voices also told me that the three prisons on the island would go on lock down until I was caught or wasn't. ~ Stephen Richards
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Richards
For some strange reason, I could feel my torso being pulled forwards and downwards. Not only did I have to swim in a forward direction, but I had to finish off my stroke by pushing downwards, a stroke that I Christened the Moyle Stroke. My arms felt so heavy and tired, my shoulders were on fire and my mind was gone. What was pulling me down, was it the Devil? My lower back screamed out in pain, my legs were dying and my strict swimming style had come down to me clawing at the water like drowning spider. ~ Stephen Richards
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Richards
Although my swimming stroke became powerful, I wrestled with the waves and I considered that if I were on the same path of the ferry then I'd be sucked under by the boat and be drowned. The sea was insistent in the direction I swam, washed onwards and there was not a sight or sound of any boats or shipping. ~ Stephen Richards
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Richards
I could feel my legs folding and unfolding like powerful scissors, pushing against the very power that was trying to hold me back. I had to maintain control of myself, not allow the sea to intimidate me. If this was a binding exercise then the sea and I would be firm friends, but I couldn't allow it to be my equal. I screamed out aloud, 'I will not be beaten, you bastard!' Then I wondered how many people this sea had claimed as its own, how many were recovered dead and how many survived the hidden brutality? ~ Stephen Richards
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Richards
I could see the reflection of the moon on the water's surface, tantalisingly teasing me forward, that was my target ... swimming towards the moon and freedom. I could smell the brine and sense the power of the mass I was in, it engulfed me, yet I was one with it. ~ Stephen Richards
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Richards
Although I was in the cold water and my teeth were chattering, I could feel perspiration running down my forehead as visions of failure swan around in my head. Although I was not the first, I felt that I was the first and would celebrate when I'd accomplished my goal. My focus was on reaching the other side of the Solent. ~ Stephen Richards
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Richards
The sea was washing me crosswise and the speed of my strokes pushed me forward, but at a slower pace than the sideways wash. The float that I had tied around my chest was more of a hindrance as it was caught in the tide and floated sideways on the current, it should have been strung out behind me as I swam onwards. This extra effort was making huge demands on my oxygen requirement, I breathed harder and had to avoid intakes of seawater. ~ Stephen Richards
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Richards
I did not recognise the man at the door and, in split-second time, I pointed the barrel of the fearsome looking weapon to the downstairs living room window, blew that out and then levelled it at the bedroom window above, and blew that out. The owner of the property literally shit his pants and slammed the door. ~ Stephen Richards
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Richards
I opened my coat and flashed the gun to Brew, all I had to do was point it and pull the trigger and that would be the end of one of my enemies. I'd probably have to shoot the second as he ran way from me totting the gun. ~ Stephen Richards
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Richards
Sometimes a choppy wave would swamp me, and after I rose gasping I would vomit the foul-tasting water, wiping the sea from my eyes and nostrils. Then I regained my posture to do battle, again with the Solent. ~ Stephen Richards
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Richards
I had chosen a blind spot at the end of the plumbers' shop to make my escape bid. Under my overalls I wore extra jeans, vest, t-shirt and I had a donkey jacket on that I intended to throw over the razor wire. Hopefully the extra clothes would stop the razor wire from cutting me. ~ Stephen Richards
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Richards
In January 1995 three prisoners, two category 'A' prisoners and a lifer escaped from Parkhurst Prison on the Isle of Wight. After four days of freedom they were recaptured. My length of freedom far surpassed theirs. ~ Stephen Richards
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Richards
I strode from the sea and could hardy stand, this enormous weight around my neck was pulling me down! I looked down at what it was; the damn container was full of seawater! I had been swimming with a gallon weight of seawater weighing me down, no wonder I found it difficult to stay afloat and swim forwards. I may as well have been swimming with a millstone around my neck! ~ Stephen Richards
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Richards
I pulled the loaded gun out of my coat, most people were the worst for wear with the drink, although I was well known and easily recognised with the big scar down my face. Well, didn't I go and let both barrels off at the streetlight, it exploded into pieces and the front of the pub went into darkness. ~ Stephen Richards
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Richards
One quarter of a mile is, in metric terms, about 400 metres. I believe the world record for a man to cover this distance by use of his legs is about forty something seconds. At that time, I would have bet any amount of money that I would have beaten the world record at that distance as I sprinted like a tornado across the open farmer's fields. ~ Stephen Richards
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Richards
It may be that there is an afterlife and I'll look incredibly stupid, but at least I will have had a crammed pre afterlife, a crammed life, so to me the most important thing is as Kipling put it, to fill every unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run. ~ Stephen Fry
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Fry
I share that pain. Those events have sparked anger, resentment, further division. I empathise with your anger. I understand your resentment. More than anything, I seek to heal that division. ~ Stephen Lloyd Jones
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Lloyd Jones
Everyone needs a hobby," he said. "And everyone needs a miracle or two, just to prove life is more than just one long trudge from the cradle to the grave. ~ Stephen King
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen King
Despite everything my mom and doctor and dad have said to me about blame, I can't stop thinking what I know. And I know that my aunt Helen would still be alive today if she just bought me one present like everybody else. She would be alive if I were born on a day that didn't snow. ~ Stephen Chbosky
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Chbosky
Principle-centered leadership is practiced from the inside out on four levels: 1) personal (my relationship with myself); 2) interpersonal (my relationships and interactions with others); 3) managerial (my responsibility to get a job done with others); and 4) organizational (my need to organize people - to recruit them, train them, compensate them, build teams, solve problems, and create aligned structure, strategy, and systems). ~ Stephen R. Covey
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen R. Covey
He grinned, the skin of his mouth streching far wider that it should have done, exposing teeth as far back as his molar. ~ Stephen Lloyd Jones
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Lloyd Jones
Not many people like him, he's an angry man. He'd go after his own shadow. ~ Stephen Hunt
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Hunt
I'm so afraid that all I can reach will lead me to all I dare not see. ~ Stephen King
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen King
I really cherish everything that basketball brings; and I think, for me, it's been a great ride and I'm not done yet. ~ Stephen Curry
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Curry
This is one of Its places, all right, Ben thought. One of the places like the Morlock holes, where It goes out and comes back in. And It knows we're out here. It's waiting for us to come in. Yuh-yuh-you ~ Stephen King
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen King
For every thing you find that's of comfort...there are two with the power to hurt. ~ Stephen King
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen King
He was vain and tended to surround himself with intellectual and moral pygmies. ~ Stephen L. Carter
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen L. Carter
In the great debates of early-nineteenth century geology, catastrophists followed the stereotypical method of objective science-empirical literalism. They believed what they saw, interpolated nothing, and read the record of the rocks directly. ~ Stephen Jay Gould
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Jay Gould
People don't have to believe in you for you to succeed. Just work hard, when you succeed, they will believe. ~ Stephen Keshi
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Keshi
I'd like to leave you with a bit of wisdom I picked up from a documentary I saw this weekend: Mad Max: Fury Road. All you young people really need to succeed in the future is a reliable source of fuel and a fanatical cadre of psychopathic motorcycle killers. ~ Stephen Colbert
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Colbert
Recapitulation provided a convenient focus for the persuasive racism of white scientists; they looked to the activities of their own children for comparison with normal adult behavior in lower races. ~ Stephen Jay Gould
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Jay Gould
It wasn't until my second year that I got to actually work with Church. ~ Stephen Cole Kleene
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Cole Kleene
while inside, a ferocious love wound around
and around me-till it pierced me with its thorns, its sword,
slashing a seared road through my heart

100 Love Sonnets by Pablo Neruda, translated by Stephen Tapscott ~ Pablo Neruda
Stephen Moyle quotes by Pablo Neruda
I reject karma and rebirth not only because I find them unintelligible, but because I believe they obscure and distort what the Buddha was trying to say. Rather than offering the balm of consolation, the Buddha encouraged us to peer deep and unflinchingly into the heart of the bewildering and painful experience that life can so often be. ~ Stephen Batchelor
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Batchelor
It makes no difference if you're rich or poor
Or if you're smart or dumb.
A woman's place in this old world
Is under some man's thumb,
And if you're born a woman
You're born to be hurt.
You're born to be stepped on,
Lied to,
Cheated on,
And treated like dirt.
-Sandy Posey, 'Born a Woman'
Lyrics by Martha Sharp ~ Stephen King
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen King
When one knows and one does not, the one who does not must bow his head and the one who does must take responsibility. ~ Stephen King
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen King
Sometimes the embers are better than the campfire. ~ Stephen King
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen King
Drinking had become Myra's staple answer to all of life's problems. Sometimes it felt like alcohol had replaced Stephen as Itzy's second parent. ~ Vrinda Pendred
Stephen Moyle quotes by Vrinda Pendred
I like a woman who hasn't decided the kitchen's a place of slavery just because she works for a livin." "I feel absolutely the same way about a man, ~ Stephen King
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen King
By centering our lives on correct principles and creating a balanced focus between doing and increasing our ability to do, we become empowered to the task of creating effective useful and peaceful lives. ~ Stephen Covey
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Covey
The most common thing that real reporters say to me is, "I wish I could say what you say." What I don't understand is, why can't they say what I say, even in their own way? Does that mean they want to be able to name certain bald contradictions or hypocrisies that politicians have? ~ Stephen Colbert
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Colbert
I'm a great audience. I cry very easily. I suspend disbelief in two seconds. ~ Stephen Sondheim
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Sondheim
Putting first things first means organizing and executing around your most important priorities. It is living and being driven by the principles you value most, not by the agendas and forces surrounding you. ~ Stephen Covey
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Covey
I didn't feel like reading that night, so I went downstairs and watched a half-hour long commercial that advertised an exercise machine. They kept flashing a 1-800 number, so I called it. The woman who picked up the other end of the phone was named Michelle. And I told Michelle that I was a kid and did not need an exercise machine, but I hoped she was having a good night.
That's when Michelle hung up on me. And I didn't mind a bit. ~ Stephen Chbosky
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Chbosky
Morris's face is melting. He shrieks and begins hugging the blazing, dissolving remnants of Rothstein's work to his burning chest. ~ Stephen King
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen King
I'm a theatre person, that's who I am. I'm happy to make sojourns into the world of movies but I'm basically a theatre director that potters off and does a couple of movies. ~ Stephen Daldry
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Daldry
An apple a day keeps anyone away, if you throw it hard enough. ~ Stephen Colbert
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Colbert
To judge someone before understanding that person is a form of human rejection and feeds upon itself. It intensifies personal insecurities, necessitating more judgment (prejudice) and less understanding. The processes continue in this vicious cycle. ~ Stephen R. Covey
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen R. Covey
Talent is never static. It's always growing or dying. ~ Stephen King
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen King
What is common sense isn't common practice. ~ Stephen Covey
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Covey
Sour cream! He had tasted it once and liked to puke. ~ Stephen King
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen King
It is remarkable that a fist-gnawingly dire England performance still has the power to shock, when in some ways this one had all the exquisite unpredictability of Norman Wisdom approaching a banana skin in the immediate vicinity of a swimming pool...
The England shirt is the precise opposite of a superhero costume, turning men with extraordinary abilities into mild-mannered guys next door. Were Stephen Fry to pull it on, he would struggle to string a sentence together. Were Lucian Freud to slip it over his head he would turn his easel round to reveal a childlike scribble of a cat. ~ Marina Hyde
Stephen Moyle quotes by Marina Hyde
Guilt is like a sore, endlessly fascinating, and the guilty party feels compelled to examine it and pick at it, so that it never really heals. ~ Stephen King
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen King
Isn't there ever any getting away from it? ~ Stephen King
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen King
Thinking matters through before we act is always difficult and often consumes a lot of our time. But it is simply not possible to be a person of integrity without doing it. - Stephen Carter, Integrity ~ Bill Gates Sr.
Stephen Moyle quotes by Bill Gates Sr.
No one will ever be able to say what the comandantes would have done with their historic opportunity in Nicaragua if they had not been confronted with civil war. ~ Stephen Kinzer
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Kinzer
In a brilliant fusion of fact and fiction, Jayne Anne Phillips has written the novel of the year. It's the story of a serial killer's crimes and capture, yes, but it's also a compulsively readable story of how one brave woman faces up to acts of terrible violence in order to create something good and strong in the aftermath. Quiet Dell will be compared to In Cold Blood, but Phillips offers something Capote could not: a heroine who lights up the dark places and gives us hope in our humanity. ~ Stephen King
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen King
On a couple of occasions I've shocked myself. Pet Sematery was appalling when it first came out on to the page. ~ Stephen King
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen King
Normally, the energy of the particle is still positive, but the gravitational field inside a black hole is so strong that even a real particle can have negative energy there. It is therefore possible, if a black hole is present, for the virtual particle with negative energy to fall into the black hole and become a real particle or antiparticle. ~ Stephen Hawking
Stephen Moyle quotes by Stephen Hawking
