"Love is like the sea. It's a moving thing, but still and all, it takes its shape from the shore it meets, and it's different with every shore."

"Dat's what makes a man and woman. It's in de mind. It ain't in de body."

"Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board. For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes…"

"Love makes your soul crawl out from its hiding place."

"Some people could look at a mud puddle and see an ocean with ships."
