They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.
Land is the secure ground of home, the sea is like life, the outside, the unknown.
We've explored very little of the ocean. We really don't know what's out there. But people think we've figured it all out.
One of the things that's frustrated me as a deep-sea explorer is how many animals there probably are in the ocean that we know nothing about because of the way we explore the ocean.
It's more of an adventure when you set off into unknown territory, and there's nothing like that feeling you get when you discover a place on the Earth where no one has ever been.
The ocean is this beautiful, unexplored place. Why on Earth everyone isn't down there, I don't know.
I am really dedicated to understanding the planet/creature on which we live and know that means I must go beneath the sea to see 72 percent of what is going on.
Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.
I really feel that there are things in the ocean that we have no idea about.
We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.
