I don't want to die. But I want to be dead.

Jean Ingelow Poet

we wish for more in life rather than more of it.

Jean Ingelow Poet

Jean Ingelow Poet

It is not reason which makes faith hard, but life.

Jean Ingelow Poet

My father took one hundred and thirty-two minutes to die. I counted. It happened on the Jellicoe Road. The prettiest road I’d ever seen, where trees made breezy canopies like a tunnel to Shangri-La. We were going to the ocean, hundreds of miles away, because I wanted to see the ocean and my father said that it was about time the four of us made that journey. I remember asking, 'What’s the difference between a trip and a journey?' and my father said, 'Narnie, my love, when we get there, you’ll understand,' and that was the last thing he ever said.

Melina Marchetta Writer

I threw bitter tears at the ocean, but all that came back was the tide.

Sarah Mclachlan Musician

You're not a wave, you're a part of the ocean.

Mitch Albom Author

I imagine a line, a white line, painted on the sand and on the ocean, from me to you.

Jonathan Safran Foer Writer

Primeval forests! virgin sod! That Saxon has not ravish'd yet, Lo! peak on peak in stairways set- In stepping stairs that reach to God! Here we are free as sea or wind, For here are set Time's snowy tents In everlasting battlements Against the march of Saxon mind.

Joaquin Miller Poet

Without water, our planet would be one of the billions of lifeless rocks floating endlessly in the vastness of the inky-black void.

Fabien Cousteau Oceanographer
