I feel like the ocean remembers the touch of every place it has been to and washes our skin with it, takes part of us with it when it goes.”
Tamara Rendell, Realm of the Stag King

Tamara Rendell
“When I am out on the boats at night, with the stars all clear, I feel as though I’m caught between two hands of infinity. And they’re holding me still but pulling me into them all at the same time. And when everyone is quiet, just waiting, I feel like the sea has its own voice. Not the one everyone talks about – the voices of the dead or the sirens or the monsters – but its own. And it could tell you the answer to everything if you only knew how to ask it.” Keelan's voice slowed and deepened. “It’s like being in another world out there at night. I don’t know why the day ever has to come. I’ve taken my own boat out a few times, just by myself – that’s the best. Small boat and complete silence. Everything – the sky, the water, the silence – everything so much bigger than you.”
Tamara Rendell, Realm of the Stag King

“If there's an opposite of seasick, I think that's what the bay does to me. Everything stills the moment the scents of salt hits me.

Leila Mottley, Nightcrawling

“The monster under my bed is pitchpoling. See, when you’re in heavy seas you always face the bow forward. Steer into the waves. Seems to break the laws of nature but most times it works. You're gonna live to see another day. If your vessel gets turned sideways though, you get stuck in the trough and in heavy seas you can capsize. I don’t even worry about that so much. I can control that- I just steer the boat into the oncoming waves. Problem solved. Until it’s not.”
Kristy McGinnis, Motion of Intervals

Jeferson Tenório
“Quando minha mãe levantava os olhos e percebia a vista, quando pela manhã, lá de cima do morro, olhava para o mar, seu corpo era invadido por uma espécie de plenitude. Algo que ela ainda não havia experimentado. O mar como remédio. É com ele que minha mãe irá conversar pelos próximos anos. A proximidade com o mar será uma condição para seguir, embora ela não soubesse. O som das ondas ecoaria dentro dela e, às vezes, como que por milagre ou coincidência, aquele poço inabitado, dentro dela, era invadido pelo mar e a falta ficava submersa por um breve momento.”

Emili Lemon, Hot Tropic: From Grey to Blue

Walking here, with the soft sensation of sand underfoot and the bright sun overhead, the chirping of seagulls and that endless expanse of coastline. Lost from the world. From time. From all of it.”
