Fifty percent of our country that we own, have all legal jurisdiction, have all rights to do whatever we want, lies beneath the sea and we have better maps of Mars than that 50 percent. – Robert Ballard
There was a strange happening during a performance of Elgar’s ‘Sea Pictures’ at a concert hall in Bermuda tonight, when the man playing the triangle disappeared. – Ronnie Barker
I grew up in New England at the edge of the Atlantic and have for many years been an avid rower. I’ve rowed in various places, including the Ganges in India, the River Shannon in Ireland, and the Sea of Galilee. – Rosemary Mahoney
Redwoods flourish in fog, but they don’t like salt air. They tend to appear in valleys that are just out of sight of the sea. In their relationship with the sea, redwoods are like cats that long to be stroked but are shy to the touch. – Richard Preston
I’ve gradually gained more confidence swimming for distance in the open sea, but I still return to the rock pools. – Raymond Bonner
When I wrote the song, I had the sea near Bombay in mind. We stayed at a hotel by the sea, and the fishermen come up at five in the morning and they were all chanting. And we went on the beach and we got chased by a mad dog – big as a donkey. – Ray Davies
Belief is not restricted to a brief affirmation based on imitation; rather, it has degrees and stages of development. It is like a seed growing into a fully grown, fruit-bearing tree; like the sun’s image in a mirror or in a drop of water to its images on the sea’s surface and to the sun itself. – Said Nursi
The sea change that has come is the information age. We don’t have to just read The New York Times anymore. We can pull up something on the Internet and get any news that we like. – Pete du Pont
Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think. – Robert Henri
Not one foot will I fly, so long as breath bides within my breast; for, by Him that shaped both sea and land, this day shall end my battles or my life. I will die King of England. – Richard III of England
If there’s one thing that 2009 showed us, it’s that everything is happening everywhere, across multiple platforms, each one making waves that end up crashing against each other and commingling into one giant media sea. – Rachel Sklar
There are more than one hundred thousand ships at sea carrying all the solids, liquids and gases that we need to live. – Rose George
Both me and my wife’s extended family all live within a 50-mile radius. Like me, a lot of them did time in London then started drifting back to the countryside and the sea. Perhaps it’s a homing instinct. – Robert Smith
I like fishing. Not actual fishing – I like the peace and quiet of being at sea. It’s different. – Rafael Nadal
I love being on the sea and the rolling of the ship, and for me, it’s not really happening until we get a little wave action going, I love that feeling. – Roger McGuinn
Just under the surface I shall be, all together at first, then separate and drift, through all the earth and perhaps in the end through a cliff into the sea, something of me. A ton of worms in an acre, that is a wonderful thought, a ton of worms, I believe it. – Samuel Beckett
Basically, I get paid to be crazy. I get paid to believe I’m someone else, live in a completely false reality, and believe it’s real. And that’s a little scary. And I do it to the best of my ability. But it’s kind of like swimming out to sea. You have to leave enough energy to swim back, and sometimes you get scared you swam too far. – Rachel Miner
I have a lot of land. I bought it because I had a very strong feeling. I was in my early twenties, and I had grown up in Los Angeles and had seen that city slide off into the sea from the city I knew as a little kid. It lost its identity – suddenly there was cement everywhere and the green was gone and the air was bad – and I wanted out. – Robert Redford
I think it was lucky that during most of the work on the Odyssey I lived on Homer’s sea in houses that were, in one case, shaken by the impact of the Mediterranean winter storms on the rocks below. – Robert Fitzgerald
I was on the beach every summer. That was the pleasant part of my childhood because we were right by the sea. We’d take a picnic, and I’d spend hours in the water until I turned blue. You couldn’t get me out of there. – Olga Kurylenko
Solitude is not the same as loneliness. Solitude is a solitary boat floating in a sea of possible companions. – Robert Fulghum
I once saw a lump of Greenland breaking off into the sea and moving south, which of course will affect the atmosphere and us generally, and it’ll happen more and more. – Ralph Steadman
I had better cellular coverage on a ship in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea than I have in many parts of Silicon Valley. – Roger McNamee
Look! Don’t be deceived by appearances – men and things are not what they seem. All who are not on the rock are in the sea! – William Booth
Let me state what the official IPCC prediction is: Sea levels could go up as much as three-quarters of a meter in this century, but there is a reasonable probability it could be much higher than that. – Steven Chu
Meeting Australian mountaineer and author Tim Macartney-Snape when I was 16 in 1994 had a big impact on me. His ascent of Everest from sea to summit captured my imagination. – Tim Cope
