Sea Quotes

Tomorrow we embark upon the boundless sea.
Homer

Nothing remembers or grieves
The river takes to the sea
The yellow drift of leaves.

Thomas Carlyle

Indeed, I write to you from a strange place.
Frederic Chopin

And the plane began it's takeoff. How exciting it was to lift off from the ground with a jerk and see the houses that became parallelepipettes and the streets that changed into strips and the countryside that was reduced to a green patch and the sea that inclined like a compact paving stone and the clouds that fell below in a landslide of soft rocks and the anguish, the pain, the very happiness that became a part of a unique luminous motion. It seemed to me that flying subjected everything to a process of simplification and I sighed, I tried to lose myself. Every so often I asked Nino "are you happy?" and he nodded yes, kissed me. At times I had the impression that the floor under my feet, the only surface I could count on, was trembling.
Elena Ferrante
