Famous quotes containing the words ocean and/or view:
“Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing,
Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;
So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,
Only a look and a voice; then darkness again and a silence.”

“The use of literature is to afford us a platform whence we may command a view of our present life, a purchase by which we may move it.”
