Moon and Sea You are the moon, dear love, and I the sea: The tide of hope swells high within my breast, And hides the rough dark rocks of life's unrest When your fond eyes smile near in perigee. But when that loving face is turned from me, Low falls the tide, and the grim rocks appear, And earth's dim coast-line seems a thing to fear. You are the moon, dear one, and I the sea.
~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox

~ Eloisa James
If the waves were to start thinking, they would believe that they are moving forward, that they have a purpose, that they are working for the good of the sea, and they wouldn't fail to work out a philosophy as inane as their zeal.

~ Emil Cioran
Sculîndu-m? din pat în toiul nopÅ£ii, primul meu gînd a fost s? m? arunc în mare din înaltul falezei. Dar noaptea era perfect?, ireproÅŸabil?; pur ÅŸi simplu m-a f?cut fericit.

Dar n-am plîns niciodat?, fiindc? lacrimile s-au transformat în gînduri. Åži nu sînt gîndurile acestea tot atîta de amare ca lacrimile?

His mind was like the sea itself: troubled, and too deep for the bravest man's descent, throwing up now and again, for the naked eye to wonder at, treasure and debris long forgotten on the bottom—bones and jewels, fantastic shells, jelly that had once been flesh, pearls that had once been eyes. And he was at the mercy of this sea, hanging there with darkness all around him.
