Sea Floor

Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or floor:

    The sea is calm to-night.

    Upon the straits;—

    Because humans are not alone in exhibiting such behavior—bees stockpile royal jelly, birds feather their nests, mice shred paper—it’s possible that a pregnant woman who scrubs her house from floor to ceiling [just before her baby is born] is responding to a biological imperative . . . .

    Mary Arrigo (20th century)
