This was too funny of a quote not to share:
“Look, Daniel. Women- with remarkable exceptions like your neighbour Merceditas- are more intelligent than we are, or at least more honest with themselves about what they do or don’t want. Another question is whether they tell you or the world. You’re facing the enigma of nature, Daniel. Womenkind is an indecipherable maze.” Page 195

“White writes, ‘events of the mind’ that could have occurred only on these Atlantic coasts, where ‘strange winds of the spirit below’: another version of Edward Thomas, of inner landscapes being powerfully shaped by outer’- page 94

How beautifully put that the idea that the inner “spirit” of the sea changes the outer perspective (mind or body I suppose) of an individual.

“Old paths became mediums in two senses: means of communication as well as means of motion. Interest built in the ghostliness of these ghost-lines.” Page 21

“You feel a little bit lost right now about what to do with your life, a bit rudderless and oarless and aimless but that’s okay that’s alright because we’re all meant to be like that at twenty-four”

Damn
