Quotes by Philip Hoare  (?)
Quotes are added by the 欧宝娱乐 community and are not verified by 欧宝娱乐.

“The sea defines us, connects us, separates us. Most of us experience only its edges, our available wilderness on a crowded island - it鈥檚 why we call our coastal towns 鈥榬esorts鈥�, despite their air of decay. And although it seems constant, it is never the same. One day the shore will be swept clean, the next covered by weed; the shingle itself rises and falls. Perpetually renewing and destroying, the sea proposes a beginning and an ending, an alternative to our landlocked state, an existence to which we are tethered when we might rather be set free.”
Philip Hoare, The Sea Inside

“Our bodies are as unknown to us as the ocean, both familiar and strange; the sea inside ourselves.”
Philip Hoare, The Sea Inside

“dolphins are not the benevolent mammals we鈥檇 like them to be; those beaming faces hide the minds of assassins.”
Philip Hoare, The Sea Inside
