“There are two terrible things for a man: not to have fulfilled his dream, and to have fulfilled it.”
Bernard Moitessier, The Long Way

“When a great adventure is launched with a powerful thrust, fatigue in the muscles and doubts in the mind are swept away by a fullness that moves life along like a breath from the depths of the soul.”
Bernard Moitessier, Tamata and the Alliance

“its normal pace, even with the threat of a gale. How long will it last, this peace I have found at sea? It is all of life that I contemplate—sun, clouds, time that passes and abides. Occasionally it is also that other world, foreign now, that I left centuries ago. The modern, artificial world where man has been turned into a money-making machine to satisfy false needs, false joys.”
Bernard Moitessier, The Long Way
