The sea was at the bottom of my road, and I seemed to spend my childhood in it or on it, hearing, tasting, smelling it. Now, still, I need to be near water as often as possible.

I never was on the dull, tame shore, But I loved the great sea more and more.

I love the sea.

The sea is my business.

I love the sea, and I never mind when it's rough.

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 beach. I love the sea. All my life I live within - in front of the sea.

The sea was our main entertainment. When company came, we set them before it on rugs, with thermoses and sandwiches and colored umbrellas, as if the water - blue, green, gray, navy or silver as it might be - were enough to watch.

I love the ocean. Boats, not so much.
