“A sandbar is where excitement meets the ocean.”

“In the center of each whirlpool is a vortex of beauty.”

“It’s the sound of the sea that makes you believe in mermaids.”

“No dirt can touch me, like an ocean, everything that comes to me becomes clean.”

“I’m always happy when I’m surrounded by water, I think I’m a Mermaid or I was a mermaid.The ocean makes me feel really small and it makes me put my whole life into perspective… it humbles you and makes you feel almost like you’ve been baptized. I feel born again when I get out of the ocean.”

“It is beautiful, it is endless, it is full and yet seems empty. It hurts us.”

“It is a curious situation that the sea, from which life first arose should now be threatened by the activities of one form of that life. But the sea, though changed in a sinister way, will continue to exist; the threat is rather to life itself.”

“Don’t worry if people think you’re crazy. You are crazy. You have that kind of intoxicating insanity that lets other people dream outside of the lines and become who they’re destined to be.”

“I was always an unusual girl.My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean.”
