जी ए कुलकर्णी :
"... समुद्राचा अवजड करडा पडदा स्थिर आहे. त्याच्यात आपली प्रतिबिंबे आहेत म्हणून आपण अस्तित्वात आहो असे निःशंकपणे खडकांना वाटते. व ते अलिप्तपणे उभे आहेत.
समुद्र केवळ निरीक्षक आहे..."
('अस्तिस्तोत्र', १९७१, 'सांजशकुन', १९७५,२०१५)
Friedrich Nietzsche:
“How differently the Greeks must have viewed their natural
world, since their eyes were blind to blue and green, and they would see
instead of the former a deeper brown, and yellow instead of the latter (and for
instance they also would use the same word for the colour of dark hair, that of
the corn-flower, and that of the southern sea; and again, they would employ
exactly the same word for the colour of the greenest plants and of the human
skin, of honey and of the yellow resins: so that their greatest painters
reproduced the world they lived in only in black, white, red, and yellow).”
Maria Michela Sassi:
“In trying to see the world through Greek eyes, the
Newtonian view is only somewhat useful. We need to supplement it with the
Greeks’ own colour theories, and to examine the way in which they actually
tried to describe their world. Without this, the crucial role of light and
brightness in their chromatic vision would be lost, as would any chance to make
sense of the mobility and fluidity of their chromatic vocabulary. If we rely
only on the mathematical abstractions of Newton’s optics, it will be impossible
to imagine what the Greeks saw when they stood on their shores, gazing out upon
the porphureos sea stretching into the distant horizon.”
Achilles:
"What do you
think the sea makes of it all, Patroclus? We come here, we fight, we bleed,
patch up . . fight again. To us, it's everything. But to the sea?"
