“I can still feel that leap of enthusiasm, and real joy, at the prospect of finally getting out to the beach, and running around. But probably the most important thing, to me, aside from just the freedom of it and the power of it, was the kind of creatures that you could see along the beach, that you can't find anywhere else." - Sylvia Earle”

“For me there was-is-nothing better than walking on the beach late at night. It feels like you could walk forever, like the whole night is yours and so is the ocean. When you walk on the beach at night, you can say things you can't say in real life. In the dark you can feel really close to a person. You can say whatever you want.”

“When you walk on the beach at night, you can say things you can't say in real life.”

“There's a special feeling you get on a veranda that you just can't get anywhere else.”

“living life was like puttingthe beach into a jar. The point wasn’t to fit everything in;it was to attend to the most important things first—thebig, beautiful rocks—the most valuable people andexperiences—and fit the lesser things in around them.Otherwise, the best things might get left out”

“I don't want to even think about what kind of creatures could be lurking out there in the dark in the middle of the sticks. Probably the same ones lurking around during the day, but I've learned that dangerous things like to wait till night to surface, when you can't see the coming.”
