We cannot have peace among men whose hearts find delight in killing any living creature.

The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.

In every outthrust headland, in every curving beach, in every grain of sand there is the story of the earth.

Always the edge of the sea remains an elusive and indefinable boundary. The shore has a dual nature, changing with the swing of the tides, belonging now to the land, now to the sea.

When we go down to the low-tide line, we enter a world that is as old as the earth itself - the primeval meeting place of the elements of earth and water, a place of compromise and conflit and eternal change.

the sea is a place of mystery. One by one, the mysteries of yesterday have been solved. But the solution seems always to bring with it another, perhaps a deeper mystery. I doubt that the last, final mysteries of the sea will ever be resolved. In fact, I cherish a very unscientific hope that they will not be.
