• I had to keep breathing. Even though there was no reason to hope... I stayed alive. I kept breathing. And one day my logic was proven all wrong because the tide came in, and gave me a sail. And now, here I am. Im back... Because now i know what I have to do now. I have to keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?

  Tom Hanks

• The most melancholy thing about human nature, is, that a man may guide others into the path of salvation, without walking in it himself; that he may be a pilot, and yet a castaway.

• I had to stop hoping so much that a ship would rescue me. I should not count on outside help. Survival had to start with me. In my experience, a castaway’s worst mistake is to hope too much and to do too little. Survival starts by paying attention to what is close at hand and immediate. To look out with idle hope is tantamount to dreaming one’s life away.

• Allí, en el centro de aquel silencio no estaba la eternidad, sino la muerte del tiempo y una soledad tan profunda que la propia palabra carecía de significado. Porque la soledad suponía la ausencia de otras personas, y la soledad que ella encontró en aquel terreno desesperado nunca había admitido la posibilidad de otras personas. Entonces lloró. Lágrimas por la muerte de las cosas más pequeñas: los zapatos náufragos de los niños; tallos rotos de hierba de los pantanos maltratados y ahogados por el mar; fotografías de graduación de mujeres muertas a las que nunca conoció; anillos de boda en los escaparates de las casas de empeño; los diminutos cuerpos de las gallinas de Cornualles en un nido de arroz.

• And in between the two, in between the sky and the sea, were all the winds. And there were all the nights and all the moons. To be a castaway is to be a point perpetually at the centre of a circle. However much things may appear to change-the sea may shift from whisper to rage, the sky might go from fresh blue to blinding white to darkest black-the geometry never changes. Your gaze is always a radius. The circumference is ever great. In fact, the circles multiply. To be a castaway is to be caught in a harrowing ballet of circles.

• I've made quite a number of movies like Castaway and a few others where I'm the only guy in the movie and the only place to be is right next to the camera in costume ready to go in order to get it. The years, and more specifically probably the four months prior to beginning shooting, is where the big preparation is that the director does because I knew we were going to get on the set. And the good news is, if you're the boss, if it ain't good, you don't use it. You just cut it out.

• The preacher who is concerned with gaining a reputation, rising in his profession, is always in bondage. The itch for bigness is a dangerous thing. It has made a castaway of many a man whom God once richly blessed. A man should desire to be neither larger nor smaller than pleases God. Better than that, he should not bother at all about how large or how small but rather how faithful he shall be.

• Siempre habrá algunos náufragos voluntarios, a quienes ninguna bondad de crianza ni ningún cuidado paternal puede preservar de la autodestrucción; pero si alguno se pierde por falta de cuidado y cultura, hay un pecado de omisión en la sociedad a la que pertenece.

• Sigo sintiéndome como un náufrago, el último de una especie antaño numerosa. Es como si Robinson Crusoe descubriera la huella delatora en la playa y luego se diera cuenta de que es la suya. Yo mismo, pequeño como una hoja, delgado como el agua, empiezo a llorar.

• Un periodista es el vigía en el puente del barco del Estado. Observa el paso de las velas, las pequeñas cosas de interés que salpican el horizonte cuando hace buen tiempo. Informa del náufrago a la deriva al que el barco puede salvar. Mira a través de la niebla y la tormenta para advertir de los peligros que se avecinan. No piensa en su salario ni en los beneficios de sus armadores. Está ahí para velar por la seguridad y el bienestar de las personas que confían en él.

• A castaway in the sea was going down for the third time when he caught sight of a passing ship. Gathering his last strength, he waved frantically and called for help. Someone on board peered at him scornfully and shouted back, "Get a boat!

• Woe to him whom this world charms from Gospel duty. Woe to him who seeks to pour oil upon the waters when God has brewed them into a gale. Woe to him who seeks to please rather than to appal. Woe to him whose good name is more to him than goodness. Woe to him who, in this world, courts not dishonor! Woe to him who would not be true, even though to be false were salvation. Yea, woe to him who, as the great Pilot Paul has it, while preaching to others is himself a castaway.
