- Ken Thompson
The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea.
- Anne Morrow Lindbergh
A beach is not only a sweep of sand, but shells of sea creatures, the sea glass, the seaweed, the incongruous objects washed up by the ocean.
- Henry Grunwald
My life is like a stroll on the beach...as near to the edge as I can go.
- Thoreau
