Ocean Floor

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

“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. They fight, tear one another to pieces. A mere few feet beneath the waves their reign ceases, their evil drowns. Here on the ocean floor is the only independence. Here I am free.”
—Earl Felton, and Richard Fleischer. Captain Nemo (James Mason)

“But the ocean was the grand fact there, which made us forget both bayberries and men.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
