Memorable Quotes
“It was a violent act. It was scary. But I survived. I’m here. So it was an event that taught me a lot about myself, about people that I could forgive.” – Greg Louganis
“My mother, Frances Luganas, who raised me, she always told me to make everywhere you go better because you were there. And you can do that in so many ways, picking up a piece of trash, smiling at somebody at the grocery store.” – Greg Louganis
