• Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth and easy, or that anyone who embarks on the strange voyage can measure the tides and hurricanes he will encounter. The statesman who yields to war fever must realize that once the signal is given, he is no longer the master of policy but the slave of unforeseeable and uncontrollable events.

  Winston Churchill

• We've all led raucous lives, some of them inside, some of them out. But only the poem you leave behind is what's important. Everyone knows this. The voyage into the interior is all that matters, Whatever your ride. Sometimes I can't sit still for all the asininities I read. Give me the hummingbird, who has to eat sixty times His own weight a day just to stay alive. Now that's a life on the edge.

  Charles Wright

  Dar, Importante, Vivo

• Un mensaje llegó de mi juventud de días desaparecidos, diciendo: 'Te espero entre el temblor de mayo no nacido, donde las sonrisas maduran para las lágrimas y las horas se duelen con canciones no cantadas'. Dice: "Ven a mí a través de la gastada huella de la edad, a través de las puertas de la muerte. Porque los sueños se desvanecen, las esperanzas fallan, los frutos engendrados del año decaen, pero yo soy la verdad eterna, y me encontrarás una y otra vez en tu viaje de la vida de orilla a orilla.

• I kind of was shoveled onto a boat at 11 and went to England. I didn't have any parent watching over me. It was very free and may have been a bit of a scary time for me, but I really don't remember much about the voyage apart from playing ping-pong a lot with a couple friends.

• ¿Por qué casi todos los niños robustos y sanos con un alma robusta y sana están locos por hacerse a la mar? ¿Por qué en su primer viaje como pasajero, sintió usted mismo una vibración mística, cuando le dijeron por primera vez que usted y su barco estaban ahora fuera de la vista de tierra? ¿Por qué los antiguos persas consideraban sagrado el mar? ¿Por qué los griegos le otorgaron una deidad aparte, como hermano de Júpiter? Seguramente todo esto no carece de significado.

• Man ever is and always shall be blessed; for he loves, and love is an onward current that never ebbs; and borne upon this current humanity will at last make its far, fair haven; and meanwhile, as it voyages, it will find the course not too rough, but glorified by frequent halcyon days and calm nights set with stars.

  Frank C. Lockwood

• El placer es la roca sobre la que la mayoría de los jóvenes parten; se lanzan con las velas hinchadas en su busca, pero sin una brújula que dirija su curso, ni razón suficiente para gobernar el barco; por falta de lo cual, el dolor y la vergüenza, en lugar del placer, son los resultados de su viaje.

• Three or four times only in my youth did I glimpse the Joyous Isles, before they were lost to fogs, depressions, cold fronts, ill winds, and contrary tides... I mistook them for adulthood. Assuming they were a fixed feature in my life's voyage, I neglected to record their latitude, their longitude, their approach. Young ruddy fool. What wouldn't I give now for a never-changing map of the ever-constant ineffable? To possess, as it were, an atlas of clouds.

  David Mitchell

• Un barco navega hacia el este y otro hacia el oeste con los mismos vientos que soplan. Es la disposición de las velas y no los vendavales lo que nos indica el camino a seguir. Como los vientos de los mares son los caminos del destino, A medida que viajamos por la vida: Es el conjunto de un alma que decide su meta, y no la calma o la lucha.

• You know, when one's in love,' I said, 'and things go all wrong, one's terribly unhappy and one thinks one won't ever get over it. But you'll be astounded to learn what the sea will do.' What do you mean?' she smiled. Well, love isn't a good sailor and it languishes on a sea voyage. You'll be surprised when you have the Atlantic between you and Larry to find how slight the pang is that before you sailed seemed intolerable.

  W. Somerset Maugham

• The great wheel of fire of ancient wisdom, silence and word engendering the myth of the origin, human action engendering the epic voyage toward the other; historical violence revealing the tragic flaw of the hero who must then return to the land of origin; myth of death and renewal and silence from which new words and images will arise, keeps on turning in spite of the blindness of purely lineal thought.

  Carlos Fuentes

• If I had been downright honest with myself, I would have seen very plainly in my heart that I did but half fancy being committed this way to so long a voyage, without once laying my eyes on the man who was to be the absolute dictator of it, so soon as the ship sailed out upon the open sea. But when a man suspects any wrong, it sometimes happens that if he be already involved in the matter, he insensibly strives to cover up his suspicions even from himself. And much this way it was with me. I said nothing, and tried to think nothing.

  Herman Melville
