«Ocean»

The ocean is a mighty harmonist.

William Wordsworth

The use of sea and air is common to all; neither can a title to the ocean belong to any people or private persons, forasmuch as neither nature nor public use and custom permit any possession therof.

(Letters)

Elizabeth I

When anxious, uneasy and bad thoughts come, I go to the sea, and the sea drowns them out with its great wide sounds, cleanses me with its noise, and imposes a rhythm upon everything in me that is bewildered and confused.

Rainer Maria Rilke

In one drop of water are found all the secrets of all the oceans.

Kahlil Gibran

I have always been fascinated by the ocean, to dip a limb beneath its surface and know that I’m touching eternity, that it goes on forever until it begins here again.

(Wither)

Lauren DeStefano

Ocean is more ancient than the mountains, and freighted with the memories and the dreams of Time.

H. P. Lovecraft

The ocean stirs the heart, inspires the imagination and brings eternal joy to the soul.

Wyland

The sea is emotion incarnate. It loves, hates, and weeps. It defies all attempts to capture it with words and rejects all shackles. No matter what you say about it, there is always that which you can’t.

(Eragon)

Christopher Paolini

The voice of the sea speaks to the soul. The touch of the sea is sensuous, enfolding the body in its soft, close embrace.

Kate Chopin

There’s nothing wrong with enjoying looking at the surface of the ocean itself, except that when you finally see what goes on underwater, you realize that you’ve been missing the whole point of the ocean. Staying on the surface all the time is like going to the circus and staring at the outside of the tent.

Dave Barry

Those who live by the sea can hardly form a single thought of which the sea would not be part.

Hermann Broch

If everyone could just live near the ocean, I think we’d all be happier. It’s hard to be down about anything knee deep in the sand.

Crystal Woods

I really don’t know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it’s because in addition to the fact that the sea changes, and the light changes, and ships change, it’s because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea - whether it is to sail or to watch it - we are going back from whence we came.

John F. Kennedy

Without the oceans there would be no life on Earth.

Peter Benchley

With every drop of water you drink, every breath you take, you’re connected to the sea. No matter where on Earth you live. Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere is generated by the sea.

Sylvia Earle

You will love the ocean. It makes you feel so... I don’t know. Small, but not in a bad way. Small because you realize you’re part of something bigger.

(The Infinite Moment of Us)

Lauren Myracle
