Sea Quotes

The populace is like the sea motionless in itself, but stirred by every wind, even the lightest breeze Picture Quote #1

I’m at the round table, where your seat at? Where your plate, where your lobster, where your sea bass? Picture Quote #1

Our shipment of mowers was lost at sea and while we waited, winter descended and covered our green lawns with snow. That taught me a key lesson, the importance of timing. The shipping company lost the lawnmowers! By the time they showed up no one wanted them, as you can’t cut grass when it’s covered with snow Picture Quote #1

A man who is not afraid of the sea will soon be drowned, for he will be going out on a day when he shouldn’t Picture Quote #1

No matter how important a man at sea may consider himself, unless he is fundamentally worthy the sea will some day find him out Picture Quote #1

When anyone asks me how I can best describe my experiences of nearly forty years at sea, I merely say uneventful. I have never been in an accident of any sort worth speaking about... I never saw a wreck and have never been wrecked, nor was I ever in any predicament that threatened to end in disaster of any sort Picture Quote #1

A perfect life is like that of a ship of war which has its own place in the fleet and can share in its strength and discipline, but can also go forth alone in the solitude of the infinite sea. We ought to belong to society, to have our place in it, and yet be capable of a complete individual existence outside of it Picture Quote #1

Look in, look the storm in the eye. Look out, to the sea and the sky. Look around, at the sight and sound. Look in, look out, look around Picture Quote #1

The sea was angry that day my friend, like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli Picture Quote #1

The blues is a mighty long road. Or it could be a river, one that twists and turns and flows into a sea of limitless musical potential Picture Quote #1

So my message is in whichever realm, be it going into space or going into the deep sea, you have to balance the yin and yang of caution and boldness, risk aversion and risk taking, fear and fearlessness. No great accomplishment takes place, whether it be a movie or a deep ocean expedition, or a space mission, without a kind of dynamic equipoise between the two. Luck is not a factor. Hope is not a strategy. Fear is not an option Picture Quote #1

The things we truly love, the things forming the basis and roots of our being, are generally things we never look at. A huge piece of carpeting, empty and naked plains, silent and uninterrupted stretches with nothing to alter the homogeneity of their continuity. I love wide, homogenous worlds, unstaked, unlimited like the sea, like high snows, deserts, and steppes Picture Quote #1

Along the coast the sea roars, and inland the mountains roar – the roaring at the center, like a distant clap of thunder Picture Quote #1

I am like a moon that shines on an immense, unknown sea where ships never pass Picture Quote #1

There is nothing so desperately monotonous as the sea, and I no longer wonder at the cruelty of pirates Picture Quote #1

Many live in the ivory tower called reality; they never venture on the open sea of thought Picture Quote #1

I’ve been looking for answers all of my life. Yes I realize now these are not what I needed. No, in fact, all I need is what I’ve decided on, in my heart to believe. In all the crossing confusion and haste of numerous opinion and stance, my own opinion has become my own boat from where I observe the raging opinions of the sea, relaxed, drinking my lemonade and feeling very amused by it all Picture Quote #1

I know that to paint the sea really well, you need to look at it every hour of every day in the same place so that you can understand its way in that particular spot; and that is why I am working on the same motifs over and over again, four or six times even Picture Quote #1

If jazz has to be termed as a wave, then music is a sea, but if the reflectors in the water is the chord Picture Quote #1

First, by the figurations of art there be made instruments of navigation without men to row them, as great ships to brooke the sea, only with one man to steer them, and they shall sail far more swiftly than if they were full of men; also chariots that shall move with unspeakable force without any living creature to stir them. Likewise an instrument may be made to fly withall if one sits in the midst of the instrument, and do turn an engine, by which the wings, being artificially composed, may beat the air after the manner of a flying bird Picture Quote #1

Today I live on an island, in a house that is sad, hard, severe, that I built for myself, solitary on a sheer rock over the sea: a house that is the spectre, the secret image of prison. The image of my nostalgia. Maybe I never desired, not even then, to escape from jail. Man is not meant to live freely in freedom, but to be free inside a prison Picture Quote #1

Sitting at our back doorsteps, all we need to live a good life lies about us. Sun, wind, people, buildings, stones, sea, birds and plants surround us. Cooperation with all these things brings harmony, opposition to them brings disaster and chaos Picture Quote #1

A part, a large part, of traveling is an engagement of the ego v. the world. The world is hydra headed, as old as the rocks and as changing as the sea, enmeshed inextricably in its ways. The ego wants to arrive at places safely and on time Picture Quote #1

We start out postulating sharp boundaries, such as between humans and apes, or between apes and monkeys, but are in fact dealing with sand castles that lose much of their structure when the sea of knowledge washes over them. They turn into hills, leveled ever more, until we are back to where evolutionary theory always leads us: a gently sloping beach Picture Quote #1

O world, world when I was younger I thought there was some order governing you and your deeds. But now you seem to be a labyrinth of errors, a frightful desert, a den of wild beasts, a game in which men move in circles…a stony field, a meadow full of serpents, a flowering but barren orchard, a spring of cares, a river of tears, a sea of suffering, a vain hope Picture Quote #1

As the pen rises from the page between words, so the walker’s feet rise and fall between paces, and as the deer continues to run as it bounds from the earth and the dolphin continues to swim even as it leaps again and again from the sea, so writing and wayfaring are continuous activities, a running stitch, a persistence of the same seam or stream Picture Quote #1

That shoreline where the island of knowing meets the unfathomable sea of our own being is the landscape of myth Picture Quote #1

This is what I like about life at sea. It’s one long voyage of discovery. Solid water! What will they think of next? Hopefully a pony who solves crimes Picture Quote #1

Nothing that happens on the surface of the sea can alter the calm of its depths Picture Quote #1

Just as the winds whip up the sea, so does anger stir confusion in the mind Picture Quote #1
