3 quotes from The Boys in the Boat

• "The thing about rowing is that it creates a bond between men who have to work for something that they truly want; this bond is forged in struggle and sweat, and builds a lasting camaraderie that endures beyond the sport itself."
• "In that boat, they were equal: each man pushing his own limits and the limits of the group, harmonizing their efforts to achieve a common goal."
• "The story of the boys in the boat is not just about winning, but about perseverance, teamwork, and the triumph of the human spirit against overwhelming odds."
