I loved the sea. I loved steamers and sailboats and surf and sailors. And I yearned and strained to the sea, always the sea, for it is a lovely, vicious lonely thing. In its limitless variety I had a sort of HOME.

L. Ron Hubbard

The desert is a spiritual place, we vaguely understand, and the sea the mere playground of our hedonism.

Tim Winton

Youth is terrible: it is a stage trod by children in buskins and a variety of costumes mouthing speeches they've memorized and fanatically believe but only half understand. And history is terrible because it so often ends up a playground for the immature; a playground for the young Nero, a playground for the young Bonaparte, a playground for the easily roused mobs of children whose simulated passions and simplistic poses suddenly metamorphose into a catastrophically real reality.

Milan Kundera

I always had my basketball. So when I showed up at the playground, everybody knew what I wanted to do.

Baron Davis

Writing is very much a playground - an artistic playground. It's the most fun thing I do.

Shania Twain

Theatre is a playground. It really is, and we should use that playground more.

John Tiffany

The strength of that heretic [Calvin] consisted in this, that money never had the slightest charm for him. If I had such servants my dominion would extend from sea to sea.

Pope Pius IV

I had one job that was kind of cop-like. One summer I did security at a miniature golf course. Just standing out in the sun all day, Hey, hey, excuse me sir. Get your putter out of the whale's ass. Come on, this is a place of miniature business. This is not a playground even though it looks like a playground.

Dane Cook

It is the sea that whitens the roof. The sea drifts through the winter air. It is the sea that the north wind makes. The sea is in the falling snow.

Wallace Stevens

Its subject is the slow and erratic process by which the peoples of the British Isles learnt - and then for long periods forgot - about the 'Safeguard of the Sea', as the 15th century phrase had it, meaning the use of the sea for national defence, and the defence of those who used the sea.

Nicholas Rodger

All I know is when I start getting serious about songwriting... it's like a playground. All responsibilities slip away and you're with your essence. There can be delight there and self-discovery. You can dance there... I think of it as my serious playground.

Laura Nyro

I once had an Early Girl tomato at my friend Jay's house, and I thought that was the best thing I'd ever had. But then I visited friends in Senegal, and I ate sea urchin pulled fresh out of the sea. It tasted like the ocean.

Alice Waters

The sea was indistinguishable from the sky, except that the sea was slightly creased as if a cloth had wrinkles in it.

Virginia Woolf

We were not rich. We did not go to the Cote d'Azur or skiing. Our only vacation was to the North Sea. I had to pay for my bicycle every month, but we always had food.

Eddy Merckx

I had fought on behalf of man against the sea, but I realized that it had become more urgent to fight on behalf of the sea against men.

Alain Bombard

There are no footprints on the sea and no road-signs, not a single guard-stone or post, and no bends, only paths of light and dark from which to choose, the choice is always a difficult navigation and the storm's wingspan immeasurable as the depths and the horizon, but the sea holds you in its mighty hand your life is a sea-blue tale of love and death.
