“The happiest youth, viewing his progress through,What perils past, what crosses to ensue,Would shut the book, and sit him down and die.”

“I thank God I am not a woman, to be touched in so many giddy offences as He hath generally taxed their whole their whole sex withal.”

“I really don't know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea, except I think it is because in addition to the fact that the sea changes and the light changes, and ships change, it is because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have, in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch it we are going back from whence we came.”
