Famous quotes containing the words eternal, sailor and/or moon:
“The eternal silence of these infinite spaces fills me with dread.”

“The sailor is frankness, the landsman is finesse. Life is not a game with the sailor, demanding the long head—no intricate game of chess where few moves are made in straight-forwardness and ends are attained by indirection, an oblique, tedious, barren game hardly worth that poor candle burnt out in playing it.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“As the moon waxes, then wanes, so at middle age do people decline.”
—Chinese proverb.
