Quotes About Ocean

El mar es] una inmensidad que no piensa. Sólo se mueve una, otra y otra vez. Y otra más. Año tras año, siglo tras siglo. Sí, majestuoso, pero siempre muere aquí, a los pies de quienes vienen a contemplarlo. Mañana será lo mismo. Y el día en que arrasa, mata y siembre la destrucción no sabe por qué lo hace. Si de sonidos se trata, prefiero la risa de un niño o el estertor de un anciano.

We sat looking out at the ocean. There was just so much of it, and it never failed to take my breath away. Looking at the ocean gave me the same sensation I'd get staring at a sky full of stars- that I was small. Like the way a math problem reveals its undeniable truth, I knew when I stared into this sort of endlessness that my life didn't count for much of anything. And knowing that, that I was nothing but a speck, I felt pretty lucky for all that I had.

If I go out in the open ocean environment, virtually anywhere in the world, and I drag a net from 3,000 feet to the surface, most of the animals - in fact, in many places, 80 to 90 percent of the animals that I bring up in that net - make light. This makes for some pretty spectacular light shows.
