A pool just isn't the same as the ocean. It has no energy. No life.

LINDA GERBER

Death by Bikini


And oh! if the wave could speak in any other language than that of its own harsh thunder, how many tales of agony and suffering might it unfold!

PETER WHITTLE

Marina; or, An historical and descriptive account of Southport, Lytham, and Blackpool

The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear.

Miles of ocean, and oh, the vastness of it, shadows and salt, fierce dark water filled with alien emptiness and the monsters that lived there. Imagine falling into that water and knowing it was below you, even as you treaded water, desperately trying to remain on the surface; the terror of the realization of what was under you--miles and miles of nothingness and monsters, blackness stretching away everywhere and the sea floor so far below--would tear your mind apart.

CASSANDRA CLARE

Lady Midnight


The ocean is powerful, but not invincible. It is rich, but not inexhaustible. For humans to thrive in the coming centuries, we will have to be smarter about how we approach the 70 percent of our planet the ocean covers.

GARY E. KNELL

CHRISTOPH STURM

The ocean is home to all of us, and some part of us knows that.

SHEILA HURST

"Author's Book Inspired By Woods Hole And The Ocean", Cape News, January 18, 2017


The ocean is the throbbing heart of the universe, and its every wave a mound over those who have no graves.
