Quotes About Whitecaps

Strolling down a white-graveled walk to the cliff above the ocean, he let his eyes rove aimlessly over the expanse of sea and sand: The icy-looking whitecaps, the blinking, faraway sails of boats, the sweeping, constantly searching gulls. Desolation. Eternal, infinite. Like Dostoevski's conception of eternity, a fly circling about a privy, the few signs of life only emphasized the loneliness.
~ Jim Thompson
Whitecaps in profusion all around me, but somehow in your eyes I found the strength to sail upon that raging sea.
~ Gordon Lightfoot

~ Bernard Cornwell
The next day the weather was blown out, with whitecaps frosting the entire channel across to Lanai and the coconut palms whipping overhead like epileptic dust mops.
~ Christopher Moore
