A book should serve as the ax for the frozen sea within us.
Franz Kafka

A book must be the ax for the frozen sea within us.
Franz Kafka

There is nothing quite so good as burial at sea. It is simple, tidy, and not very incriminating.
Alfred Hitchcock

The Egyptians could run to Egypt, the Syrians into Syria. The only place we could run was into the sea, and before we did that we might as well fight.
Golda Meir

The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.
Jacques Yves Cousteau

A lot of people attack the sea, I make love to it.
Jacques Yves Cousteau

No aquarium, no tank in a marine land, however spacious it may be, can begin to duplicate the conditions of the sea. And no dolphin who inhabits one of those aquariums or one of those marine lands can be considered normal.
Jacques Yves Cousteau

The sea, the great unifier, is man's only hope. Now, as never before, the old phrase has a literal meaning: we are all in the same boat.
Jacques Yves Cousteau

We must plant the sea and herd its animals using the sea as farmers instead of hunters. That is what civilization is all about - farming replacing hunting.
Jacques Yves Cousteau

Farming as we do it is hunting, and in the sea we act like barbarians.
Jacques Yves Cousteau

The sea is the universal sewer.
Jacques Yves Cousteau

Desmond Tutu

He like a rock in the sea unshaken stands his ground.
Virgil

Brigham Young

One of the guys that used to run it - for some reason I've no idea why he used to call me the Sea Monster and I was just looking around for a name and thought that'll do. That lasted for a couple of years probably.
Jo Brand

Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air. Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable. Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away.
Carl Sandburg

The sea speaks a language polite people never repeat. It is a colossal scavenger slang and has no respect.
Carl Sandburg

Morality without religion is only a kind of dead reckoning - an endeavor to find our place on a cloudy sea by measuring the distance we have run, but without any observation of the heavenly bodies.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I was at sea the other day and loads of meat floated past. It was a bit choppy.
Tim Vine

All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full.
King Solomon
