“26 minutes well employed are better worth than 26 years of idleness. A few seconds of Newton or Pascal are more precious than the whole lifetime of the general run of fools.”

“-Znam skočiti u vodu i zaroniti - rekla je Sophia. Je l' ti znaš skočiti?
A njena baka je odgovorila:
-Naravno da znam. Zaboraviš na sve, uzmeš zalet i jednostavno skočiš. Osjetiš morsku travu oko nogu, trava je smeđa, a voda je bistra, prema površini sve svjetlija i svuda su mjehurići. A ti kliziš. Držiš dah i kliziš, i okreneš se, i kreneš prema gore, pustiš da te voda podigne, i izdahneš. A onda plutaš. Samo plutaš.”

“Kako čudno, pomislila je baka, više ne znam opisivati, nedostaju mi riječi ili se možda ne trudim dovoljno, Bilo je to tako davno. Više niko nema nikakve veze s time. Ako ne ispričam zato što to želim, bit će kao da se nikada nije ni dogodilo, ta će se vrata zatvoriti i sve će biti izgubljeno.”

“The sea is everything. It covers seven-tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides. The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence, It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the 'Living Infitine', as one of your poets has said. In fact, Professor, Nature manifests herself in it by her three kingdoms, mineral, vegetable, and animal. The sea is the vast reservoir of Nature, The globe began with sea, so to speak; and who knows if it will not end with it? In its supreme tranquillity. The sea does not belong to despots, Upon its surface men can still exercise unjust laws, fight, tear one another to pieces, and be carried away with terrestrial horrors. But at thirty feet below its level, their reign ceases, their influence is quenched, and their power disappears.”
