“Having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world.” ~ Ishmael from Moby Dick

One doesn’t discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.
~André Gide
The sea is a boundless expanse whereon great ships look like tiny specks; naught but the heavens above and the waters beneath; when calm, the sailor’s heart is broken; when tempestuous, his senses reel. Trust it little. Fear it much. Man at sea is but a worm on a bit of wood, now engulfed, now scared to death.
Amru Bin Al-‘As, The Arab conqueror of Egypt, 640 A.D.
