Without the oceans there would be no life on Earth.

Without the oceans there would be no life on Earth.

Twenty-five years ago nobody knew much about white sharks.

The past always seems better when you look back on it than it did at the time. And the present never looks as good as it will in the future.

The ocean is the only alien and potentially hostile environment on the planet into which we tend to venture without thinking about the animals that live there, how they behave, how they support themselves, and how they perceive us. I know of no one who would set off into the jungles of Malaysia armed only with a bathing suit, a tube of suntan cream, and a book, and yet that's precisely how we approach the oceans.

Sharks don't target human beings, and they certainly don't hold grudges.

Writing is sweat and drudgery most of the time. And you have to love it in order to endure the solitude and the discipline.
