I love the sea.

Being by the ocean is the greatest thing.

For all that has been said of the love that certain natures (on shore) have professed for it, for all the celebrations it has been the object of in prose and song, the sea has never been friendly to man. At most it has been the accomplice of human restlessness.

I love the sea as much as I love the veldt of Africa.

The most amazing thing to me about the sea is the tide. A harbour like St. Ives is totally transformed in a very short space of time by the arrival or departure of the sea.

I think the concept of the sea is very important.

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 is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence.

The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides.

I love the ocean. Boats, not so much.
