Ocean Floor

Famous quotes containing the words ocean and/or floor:

    Now is the winter of our discontent
    Made glorious by this son of York;
    And all the clouds that loured upon our house
    In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Anyone with a real taste for solitude who indulges that taste encounters the dangers of any other drug-taker. The habit grows. You become an addict.... Absorbed in the visions of solitude, human beings are only interruptions. What voice can equal the voices of solitude? What sights equal the movement of a single day’s tide of light across the floor boards of one room? What drama be as continuously absorbing as the interior one?
    Jessamyn West (1902–1984)
