We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.
All things keep on in everlasting motion, out of the infinite come the particles speeding above, below, in endless dance.
Therefore, this terror of the mind and the darkness must be dispelled not by the rays of the sun or the bright light of day, but by the appearance and reasoning of nature.
Joseph Conrad·1906For all that has been said of the love that certain natures have professed to feel for it, the sea has never been friendly to man. At most it has been the accomplice of human restlessness.
Pablo Neruda·1964I need the sea because it teaches me. I don't know if I learn music or awareness, if it's a single wave or its vast existence, or only its harsh voice or its shining suggestion of fishes and ships. The fact is that until I fall asleep, in some magnetic way I move in the university of the waves.
Henry David Thoreau·1850My life is like a stroll upon the beach, As near the ocean's edge as I can go.
