“On ne découvre pas de terre nouvelle sans consentir à perdre de vue, d'abord et longtemps, tout rivage.(One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight, for a very long time, of the shore.)”

“We who would seek new land must be willing to sacrifice the sight of shore for a long, long time.”

“Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.”

“You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore”

“Then you think that one can keep a hopeless love in one's heart for so long as that?...And that life can breathe upon it every day, without extinguishing it?”

“Will it be here that we shall find a place which will not elude us, or which if it remains does not exert on us a culpable attraction? Or must we, leaning over the deck and watching the shores glide by, move forever onward?”
