Ocean Floor

Famous quotes containing the words 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. 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)

    “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)
