Famous quotes containing the words beautiful and/or sea:
“A book is like a man—clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
“repression, however, is not the most obvious characteristic of the
sea;
the sea is a collector, quick to return a rapacious look.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
