Shining Sea

Famous quotes containing the words shining and/or sea:

    White ... is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black.... God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    A strange and vanity-devoured, detestable woman! I do not believe I could ever learn to like her except on a raft at sea with no other provisions in sight.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
