Daniel J. Rice
It has always been my belief that you can judge the compatibility of two people by the rhythm of their paddle stroke.
Daniel J. Rice, THIS SIDE OF A WILDERNESS: A Novel

Paul Theroux
It was an image that afterwards often came to me when I was traveling in the Pacific, that this ocean was as vast as outer space, and being on this boat was like shooting from one star to another, the archipelagoes like galaxies, and the islands like isolated stars in an empty immensity of watery darkness, and this sailing was like going slowly from star to star, in vitreous night.
Paul Theroux, The Happy Isles of Oceania, Part 1
