Quotes about ocean
ocean sea play
There was a magic about the sea. People were drawn to it. People wanted to love by it, swim in it, play in it, look at it.

Cecelia Ahern

ocean reality rare-beauty
The coast is an edgy place. Living on the coast presents certain stark realities and a wild, rare beauty. Continent confronts ocean. Weather intensifies. It's a place of tide and tantrum; of flirtations among fresh- and saltwaters, forests and shores; of tense negotiations with an ocean that gives much but demands more.

The coast remains youthful, daring, uncertain about tomorrow. The guessing, the risk; in a way, we're all thrill seekers here.

Cultures have long heard wisdom in non-human voices: Apollo, god of music, medicine and knowledge, came to Delphi in the form of a dolphin.

The honor you have given us goes not to us as a crew, but to ... all Americans, who believed, who persevered with us.

Those footprints are the symbol of true human spirit. Buzz Aldrin
