The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I love the ocean, but I'm just not one to lie on the beach.
I've always dreaded the sea - in fact, I get terribly seasick.
A man who is not afraid of the sea will soon be drowned, he said, for he will be going out on a day he shouldn't. But we do be afraid of the sea, and we do only be drownded now and again.
The sea is my business.
I love the sea, and I never mind when it's rough.
Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think.
The sea has never been friendly to man. At most it has been the accomplice of human restlessness.
I love the sea.
