Shore Quotes

I could never stay long enough on the shore; the tang of the untainted, fresh, and free sea air was like a cool, quieting thought Picture Quote #1

Few among men are they who cross to the further shore. The others merely run up and down the bank on this side Picture Quote #1

Heart is a sea, language is the shore. Whatever is in a sea hits the shore Picture Quote #1

If you want to understand the jungle, you can’t be content just to sail back and forth near the shore. You’ve got to get into it, no matter how strange and frightening it might seem Picture Quote #1

When we came within sight of the sea, the waves on the horizon, caught at intervals above the rolling abyss, were like glimpses of another shore with towers and buildings Picture Quote #1

I don’t wanna die in a nuclear war, I want to sail away to a distant shore, and make like an apeman Picture Quote #1

What else is there to make life tolerable? We stand on the shore of an ocean, crying to the night and to emptiness. Sometimes a voice of one drowning, and in a moment the silence returns. The world seems to me quite dreadful, the unhappiness of many people is very great, and I often wonder how they all endure it. It is usually the central thing around which their lives are built, and I suppose if they did not live most of their lives in the things of the moment, they would not be able to go on Picture Quote #1

Together they had overcome the daily incomprehension, the instantaneous hatred, the reciprocal nastiness, and fabulous flashes of glory in the conjugal conspiracy. It was time when they both loved each other best, without hurry or excess, when both were most conscious of and grateful for their incredible victories over adversity. Life would still present them with other moral trials, of course, but that no longer mattered: they were on the other shore Picture Quote #1

Time was something that largely happened to other people; he viewed it in the same way that people on the shore viewed the sea. It was big and it was out there, and sometimes it was an invigorating thing to dip a toe into, but you couldn’t live in it all the time. Besides, it always made his skin wrinkle Picture Quote #1

It never takes longer than a few minutes, when they get together, for everyone to revert to the state of nature, like a party marooned by a shipwreck. That’s what a family is. Also the storm at sea, the ship, and the unknown shore. And the hats and the whiskey stills that you make out of bamboo and coconuts. And the fire that you light to keep away the beasts Picture Quote #1

All looked distant and peaceful and strange. The shore seemed refined, far away, unreal. Already the little distance they had sailed had put them far from it and given it the changed look, the composed look, of something receding in which one has no longer any part Picture Quote #1

Like the water of a deep stream, love is always too much. We did not make it. Though we drink till we burst, we cannot have it all, or want it all. In its abundance it survives our thirst. In the evening we come down to the shore to drink our fill, and sleep, while it flows through the regions of the dark. It does not hold us, except we keep returning to its rich waters thirsty. We enter, willing to die, into the commonwealth of its joy Picture Quote #1

Wisdom is like a bottomless pond. You throw stones in and they sink into darkness and dissolve. Her eyes looking back do not reflect anything. I think this to myself even though I love my daughter. She and I have shared the same body. There is a part of her mind that is a part of mine. But when she was born she sprang from me like a slippery fish, and has been swimming away ever since. All her life, I have watched her as though from another shore Picture Quote #1

We need a home in the psychological sense as much as we need one in the physical: to compensate for a vulnerability. We need a refuge to shore up our states of mind, because so much of the world is opposed to our allegiances. We need our rooms to align us to desirable versions of ourselves and to keep alive the important, evanescent sides of us Picture Quote #1

A poem needs understanding through the senses. The point of diving in a lake is not immediately to swim to the shore; it’s to be in the lake, to luxuriate in the sensation of water. You do not work the lake out. It is an experience beyond thought. Poetry soothes and emboldens the soul to accept mystery Picture Quote #1

Consider the ebb and flow of the tide. When waves come to strike the shore, they crest and fall, creating a sound. Your breath should follow the same pattern, absorbing the entire universe in your belly with each inhalation. Know that we all have access to four treasures: the energy of the sun and moon, the breath of heaven, the breath of earth, and the ebb and flow of the tide Picture Quote #1

Right then, with the shore so close, I understood that I would not do what I should do. I would not swim away from my hometown and my country and my life. I would not be brave Picture Quote #1

The mind is like a sea, few are those who dare sail, most stand on the shore and watch. Artist pages Picture Quote #1

I’d rather be buried at sea than on the shore when I come to die. Will you stand by the plank, mates, so I can shake a friendly hand before I sink? Picture Quote #1

Be open to your dreams, people. Embrace that distant shore. Because our mortal journey is over all too soon Picture Quote #1

One day, about noon, going towards my boat, I was exceedingly surprised with the print of a man’s naked foot on the shore, which was very plain to be seen on the sand Picture Quote #1

I like mindful people. Fear prevents mindfulness, and then greed marches in because you are fearful, so you feel like you have to shore everything up Picture Quote #1

... Your presence was shore where I rested released from the hoodoo of that dance, where I spoke with my true voice again Picture Quote #1

Let us enjoy the fugitive hour. Man has no harbor, time has no shore; it rushes on, and carries us with it Picture Quote #1

No, no! I do nature injustice. She gave us inventive faculty, and set us naked, and helpless on the shore of this great ocean, the world; swim those who can, the heavy may go to the bottom Picture Quote #1

Dip down upon the northern shore, o sweet new year, delaying long; thou doest expectant nature wrong, delaying long; delay no more Picture Quote #1

One should go to sleep as homesick passengers do, saying, perhaps in the morning we shall see the shore Picture Quote #1

Ye swelling hills and spacious plains! Besprent from shore to shore with steeple towers, and spires whose silent finger points to heaven Picture Quote #1

It happen’d one Day about Noon going towards my Boat, I was exceedingly surpriz’d with the Print of a Man’s naked Foot on the Shore Picture Quote #1

What was the shell doing, on the shore? An ear endlessly drinking? What? Sound? Silence? Which came first? Listen Picture Quote #1
