Joseph Conrad
"All the tempestuous passions of
mankind's young days, the love of loot and the love of glory, the love of
adventure and the love of danger, with the great love of the unknown and vast
dreams of dominion and power, have passed like images reflected from a mirror,
leaving no record upon the mysterious face of the sea. Impenetrable and
heartless, the sea has given nothing of itself to the suitors for its
precarious favors."
-from ‘The Mirror of the Sea’
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)
