The sea! the sea! the open sea!
There is nothing so desperately monotonous as the sea, and I no longer wonder at the cruelty of pirates....Quote by James Russell Lowell.
To me, the sea is like a person--like a child that I've known a long time. It sounds crazy, I know, but when I swim in the sea I talk to it. I never feel alone when I'm out there....Quote by Gertrude Ederle.
The sea--this truth must be confessed--has no generosity. No display of manly qualities--courage, hardihood, endurance, faithfulness--has ever been known to touch its irresponsible consciousness of power....Quote by Joseph Conrad.
The sea speaks a language polite people never repeat. It is a colossal scavenger slang and has no respect....Quote by Carl Sandburg.
The blue, the fresh, the ever free!....Quote by Bryan W. Procter, "The Sea" ca. 1837.
