Sea Quotes
-
As a youngster, I travelled every year across the sea to Tiree. On occasion, we ventured to Skye on the Kyleakin-Kyle of Lochalsh ferry, where there is now a bridge.
Johann Lamont

There is more evidence to prove that saltness of the sea is due to the admixture of some substance, besides that which we have adduced. Make a vessel of wax and put it in the sea, fastening its mouth in such a way as to prevent any water getting in. Then the water that percolates through the wax sides of the vessel is sweet, the earthy stuff, the admixture of which makes the water salt, being separated off as it were by a filter.
Aristotle

We can dive to the bottom of the sea and some say NASA will fly us to the stars, and I have known men to plunge into the past-or the future-and drown. But there's one place where we can't go.

Nothing that happens on the surface of the sea can alter the calm of its depths.
Andrew Harvey

The sea has this contradictory quality, that the more you see of it, the more it overwhelms the eye and disappears in its own brightness. Like a flame, whose meaning is light but whose centre is dark, it demands to be undefined.
Alice Oswald
-
The deep sea is a scary world.
James Wan
-
The sea has now changed from it's natural, to river coloured water, the probable consequence of some streams falling into the bay, or into the ocean to the north of it, through the low land.
George Vancouver
