“May your love for me be
like
the scent of the evening sea

drifting in
through a quiet window

so i do not have to run
or chase or fall
... to feel you

all i have to do
is
breathe.”
― Sanober Khan, A Thousand Flamingos

“I have seafoam in my veins, I understand the language of waves.”
― Le Testament d'Orphée

“I know about me. I am the moons sister, a tidal child stranded on land. The sea always in my ear, a surf of eternal discontent in my blood.”
― Keri Hulme

“Let your boys test their wings. They may not be eagles, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't soar free.”
― C.J. Milbrandt, On Your Marks: The Adventure Begins
