Ocean Floor

Famous quotes containing the words ocean floor, ocean and/or floor:

“See how peaceful it is here. The sea is everything. An immense reservoir of nature where I roam at will.... Think of it. On the surface there is hunger and fear. Men still exercise unjust laws.

—Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)

“He who constantly swims in the ocean loves dry land.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“Before she has her floor swept
Or her dishes done.
Any day you’ll find her
A-sunning in the sun!”
—Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892–1950)
