It's only 8.58 am here in England, so the peace wave should have gained in strength by  7.30pm  - if we listen we might hear it crashing on the beaches as it rolls in!!

To watch an American on a beach or crowding into a subway, or buying a theater ticket, or sitting at home with his radio on, tells you something about one aspect of the American character: the capacity to withstand a great deal of outside interference, so to speak; a willing acceptance of frenzy which though it's never self-conscious, amounts o a willingness to let other people have and assert their own lively, and even offensive, character. They are a tough race in this.

One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach; one can collect only a few, and they are more beautiful if they are few.

One cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach.

Life to me is like a beach covered with lots of pebbles, the faster we qualify ourselves to pick these pebbles the richer we will be.

Absence of gratitude is the mark of the narrow, uneducated mind. It bespeaks a lack of knowledge and the ignorance of self-sufficiency. It expresses itself in ugly egotism and frequently in wanton mischief. We have seen our beaches, our parks, our forests littered with ugly refuse by those who evidently have no appreciation for their beauty. I have driven through thousands of acres of blackened land scourged by a fire evidently set by a careless smoker whose only concern had been the selfish pleasure gained from a cigarette.

Why did you make it so hard for me? I'd rather empty the ocean with a sieve. I do it for you. Or count the grains of sand on every beach. All for you. There are so many people, so many countries. But I have time. All the time in the world. Eternity.

The chilly December day! two shivering bicycle mechanics from Dayton, Ohio first felt their homemade contraption whittled out of hickory sticks, gummed together with Arnstein's bicycle cement, stretched with muslin they'd sewn on their sister's sewing machine in their own backyard on Hawthorn Street in Dayton, Ohio, soar into the air above the dunes and the wide beach at Kitty Hawk.

Men are polished, through act and speech, Each by each, As pebbles are smoothed on the rolling beach.

A garden without its statue is like a sentence without its verb.

At the beach, Sugar notices that although Daphne is a big girl with large shoulders and arms, she's also flat: "You're so flat-chested. Clothes hang better on you than they do on me."
