“Edges of the ocean. The water is what ties us together, yes? You at one edge, me at the other, but the same ocean, the same water.”

“You sip the water from the same ocean in which all the hope was lost. Us”

“But in a way you can say that after leaving the sea, after all those millions of years of living inside of the sea, we took the ocean with us. When a woman makes a baby, she gives it water, inside her body, to grow in. That water inside her body is almost exactly the same as the water of the sea. It is salty, by just the same amount. She makes a little ocean, in her body. And not only this. Our blood and our sweating, they are both salty, almost exactly like the water from the sea is salty. We carry oceans inside of us, in our blood and our sweat. And we are crying the oceans, in our tears.”

“Penetrate the heart of just one drop of water, and you will be flooded by a hundred oceans.”

“We’re infants on a sandy beach, crawling on the edge of eternity’s ocean.”

“Unlike a fountain that circulates the same water in an enclosed, perpetually recycling system, a human being circulates thoughts in an unlimited reservoir of self.Don't limit yourself to being a mere fountain when you contain an ocean.”
