Quotes by Philip Marsden (?)

“And I realized more and more that the Armenian story was not so much one of massacre and persecution, as survival.”
― Philip Marsden, The Crossing Place: A Journey Among the Armenians

“That is the essential wisdom of the sea, its paradox. It quickens us, extends us, prompts feats of innovation and courage, then washes them all away.No trace remains; man and mountain yield to the leveling force of the sea. In its omnipotence, its beauty and its purity, the sea is the earthly manifestation of the divine.”
― Philip Marsden

“The sea teaches the lesson every ecologist urges us to understand about the natural world: that it cares nothing for us, that it will survive us.”
