Beautiful Sea

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)
