As with all great works of literature, ‘Of Mice and Men’ moves with the inexorability of a huge river, and it pours itself, exhausts itself, in the sea of our unconscious. Having read it, we carry the book inside us forever. – Jay Parini
A man that is born falls into a dream like a man who falls into the sea. If he tries to climb out into the air as inexperienced people endeavor to do, he drowns. – Joseph Conrad
Land and sea, weakness and decline are great separators, but death is the great divorcer for ever. – John Keats
Put two ships in the open sea, without wind or tide, and, at last, they will come together. Throw two planets into space, and they will fall one on the other. Place two enemies in the midst of a crowd, and they will inevitably meet; it is a fatality, a question of time; that is all. – Jules Verne
Everybody feels good in their skin for about a minute a day, and the rest of the day, you’re just trying to navigate your way through the sea of terror. – Jessalyn Gilsig

There is a red sandy beach in the Minas Basin in Nova Scotia that is unlike any other shore landscape I have ever seen.

We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch – we are going back from whence we came. – John F. Kennedy
One of the guys that used to run it – for some reason I’ve no idea why he used to call me the Sea Monster and I was just looking around for a name and thought that’ll do. That lasted for a couple of years probably. – Jo Brand

Wirthlin
I sense that the sea of smart phones lit up at concerts is a temporary phenomenon. The integration of technology, sharing, and social into our physical world, on the other hand, well, that ain’t going away. – John Battelle

We must plant the sea and herd its animals using the sea as farmers instead of hunters. That is what civilization is all about – farming replacing hunting. – Jacques Yves Cousteau
The novel is not so much a literary genre, but a literary space, like a sea that is filled by many rivers. – Jose Saramago
