The Sea Quotes

Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. Without books, the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are engines of change (as the poet said), windows on the world and lighthouses erected in the sea of time. They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind. Books are humanity in print Picture Quote #1

You asked me who I thought I was before. I said maybe I was a fish because I love water and you said, you thought a mermaid, maybe. If you were a mermaid, you said, if you were a mermaid, I was the sea Picture Quote #1

... for there is nothing mysterious to a seaman unless it be the sea itself, which is the mistress of his existence Picture Quote #1

At noon I observed a bevy of nude young native women bathing in the sea, and I went and sat down on there clothes to keep them from being stolen Picture Quote #1

And then he could not see her come into a room without a sense of the flowing of robes, of the flowering of blossoms, of the purple waves of the sea, of all things that are lovely and mutable on the surface but still and passionate in their heart Picture Quote #1

Hold summer in your hand, pour summer in a glass, a tiny glass of course, the smallest tingling sip, for children; change the season in your veins by raising glass to lip and tilting summer in Picture Quote #1

The feelings we live through in love and in loneliness are simply, for us, what high tide and low tide are to the sea Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the best course in the search for the meaning of life is to busy yourself until you forget that you don’t know the meaning of life Picture Quote #1

For now is my grief heavier than the sands of the seas, she thought. This world has emptied me of all but the oldest purpose: tomorrow’s life Picture Quote #1

Now that I was compelled to think about it, reading was something that just came to me, as learning to fasten the seat of my union suit without looking around, or achieving two bows from a snarl of shoelaces Picture Quote #1

For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons, and to step out of life’s procession that marches in majesty and proud submission towards the infinite Picture Quote #1

It was like when you ripped a piece of paper into two: no matter how you tried, the seams never fit exactly right again Picture Quote #1

All the human and animal manure which the world wastes, if returned to the land, instead of being thrown into the sea, would suffice to nourish the world Picture Quote #1

We can harness the energy of the winds, the seas, the sun. But the day man learns to harness the energy of love, that will be as important as the discovery of fire Picture Quote #1

God went out of me as if the sea dried up like sandpaper, as if the sun became a latrine. God went out of my fingers. They became stone. My body became a side of mutton and despair roamed the slaughterhouse Picture Quote #1

She thought of death like the seam of a hem: each time you lose someone close, it unraveled a little. You could still go along with your life, but you’d be forever tripping over something you previously took for granted Picture Quote #1

Everything I sought in life I abandoned for the sake of the search. I’m like one who absentmindedly looks for he doesn’t know what, having forgotten it in his dreaming as the search got under way Picture Quote #1

There is nothing in the world that is not mysterious, but the mystery is more evident in certain things than in others: in the sea, in the eyes of the elders, in the color yellow, and in music Picture Quote #1

Inside that darkness, I saw rain falling on the sea. Rain softly falling on a vast sea, with no one there to see it. The rain strikes the surface of the sea, yet even the fish don’t know it is raining Picture Quote #1

Only three things are infinite. The sky in its stars, the sea in its drops of water, and the heart in its tears Picture Quote #1

I am longing to be with you, and by the sea, where we can talk together freely and build our castles in the air Picture Quote #1

The sky is so close to the sea that it is difficult to tell which is reflected in the other, which one needs the other, which one is dominating the other Picture Quote #1

Two lost things that had survived the seas and arrived on a coastline. What did they do? They implanted themselves in the sand and grew into trees and lined the beaches. Sometimes a lot can come of being all washed up. You can really grow Picture Quote #1

Ah, monsieur, to live in the bosom of the sea! Only there can independence be found! There I recognize no master! There I am free! Picture Quote #1

The sigh of all the seas breaking in measure round the isles soothed them; the night wrapped them; nothing broke their sleep, until, the birds beginning and the dawn weaving their thin voices in to its whiteness Picture Quote #1

So fine was the morning except for a streak of wind here and there that the sea and sky looked all one fabric, as if sails were stuck high up in the sky, or the clouds had dropped down into the sea Picture Quote #1

The fish in the water is silent, the animals on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing. But man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth and the music of the air Picture Quote #1

At midnight the wind in the tress can sound like the ocean. The moonlight can make a road appear as endless as the sea Picture Quote #1

Reality is, you know, the tip of an iceberg of irrationality that we’ve managed to drag ourselves up onto for a few panting moments before we slip back into the sea of the unreal Picture Quote #1

Everything about him was old except his eyes and they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated Picture Quote #1
