“The sea is better than a mother. You can love your mother, and she still might leave you. You can love or hate the sea, but it will always be there. Forever. The sea has been the center of her life. It has nurtured her and stolen from her, but it has never left.”

“The sea was beautiful, and unchanged, and its beauty was part of its fidelity. It was just as I remembered it, and this made it seems as if I too were being remembered by it.”
