“A mile below the lowest cloud, rock breaches water and the sea begins.
It has been given many names. Each inlet and bay and stream has been classified as if it were discrete. But it is one thing, where borders are absurd. It fills the space between stones and sand, curling around coastlines and filling trenches between the continents.”
― China Miéville, The Scar

“Should you ever feel too lonely...listen for the roar of the sea- for in it are all those who've been and all those who are to come.”
― Simon Van Booy, The Coming and Going of Strangers

“Invite Tranquility

The sea,--
Something to look at
When we are angry.”
― Reiko Chiba, Hiroshige's Tokaido in Prints and Poetry

“I thought of you and how you love this beauty,
And walking up the long beach all alone
I heard the waves breaking in measured thunder
As you and I once heard their monotone.

Around me were the echoing dunes, beyond me
The cold and sparkling silver of the sea --
We two will pass through death and ages lengthen
Before you hear that sound again with me.”
― Sarah Teasdale
