“What is the sea for the man who has loved and left her? She is fire-water, whisky, rum, a roric flame. She is a green-eyed witch; she speaks in tongues. Her coral rings are forged of skeletons; her white shoulders glisten with the dust of powdered bones.
She is memory, the number of numbers, the eye of the world, the mirror of the sea. What is the ocean for the sailor who has loved and left her? The one lover who dissolves the night. A bottomless glass of moonshine.
And sailors? All sea-talkers. The sons of mermen.”
― Rikki Ducornet, The Fountains of Neptune

“When men stop believing in God, it isn't that they then believe in nothing: they believe in everything.”

“The universe is a continuous web. Touch it at any point and the whole web quivers.”
