“Mmmm...the tide may drown a sleeping fisherman, a brother or a sister, or carry her unawares out to sea, but it does not do so with malice or design. And even if we hate it, how shall we harm it? How to exercise our hatred? With high walls or thundering engines? How? Do you attack the waves when you know that the seas are shifted and governed by a power removed from the Earth and beyond assailing? Trust me, young one. Use the tide, but do not make of it an enemy. If ever the strange intelligence in it could notice you and name you amongst its enemies, you would be undone before you knew any measure of relief.”

“I mean, I still kind of hate people. But, now I just regular hate them, not murder hate them.”
