“Unlike the land, where courage and the simple will to endure can often see a man through, the struggle against the sea is an act of
physical combat, and there is no escape. It is a battle against a tireless enemy in which man never actually wins; the most that he can hope for is not to be defeated.”
― Alfred Lansing, Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage to the Antarctic (Illustrated Edition): The Greatest Adventure Story Ever Told
