Famous quotes containing the words standing and/or waves:
“Come no closer! Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 3:5.
“The seashore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from which to contemplate this world. It is even a trivial place. The waves forever rolling to the land are too far-traveled and untamable to be familiar. Creeping along the endless beach amid the sun-squall and the foam, it occurs to us that we, too, are the product of sea-slime.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
