Sea Change

Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or change:

    If the sea were ink
    For the words of my Lord,
    the sea would be spent before the Words of my Lord are spent.
    Qur’An. The Cave 18:109, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)

    In the continual enterprise of trying to guide appropriately, renegotiate with, listen to and just generally coexist with our teenage children, we ourselves are changed. We learn even more clearly what our base-line virtues are. We listen to our teenagers and change our minds about some things, stretching our own limits. We learn our own capacity for flexibility, firmness and endurance.
    —Jean Jacobs Speizer. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Collective, ch. 4 (1978)
