“Man wonders but God decidesWhen to kill the Prince of Tides.”

“Take the local, take the express, don't get off till you reach success -- Sidney Rosen (Prince Of Tides)”

“Honor is the presence of God in man.”

“The tide was a poem that only time could create, and I watched it stream and brim and makes its steady dash homeward, to the ocean.”

“Together they spent their whole lives waiting for their luck to change, as though luck were some fabulous tide that would one day flood and consecrate the marshes of our island, christening us in the iridescent ointments of a charmed destiny.”

“A story untold could be the one that kills you.”

“I realized early that unless you're willing to kill the innocent, you can't win.”
