You can’t cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water. After a visit to the beach, it’s hard to believe that we live in a material world. A lot of people attack the sea, I make love to it. The breaking of a wave cannot explain the whole sea. The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever. The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea. Here are my collection of beautiful sea Quotes.
