Every wave is new until it breaks.

I am alone again and I want to be so; alone with the pure sky and open sea.

The body of the earth is of the nature of a fish, a grampus or sperm whale, because it draws water as its breath instead of air.

A single and distinct luminous body causes stronger relief in the objects than a diffused light; as may be seen by comparing one side of a landscape illuminated by the sun, and one overshadowed by clouds, and illuminated only by the diffused light of the atmosphere.

To any white body receiving the light from the sun, or the air, the shadows will be of a bluish cast.

Necessity is the theme and the inventress, the eternal curb and law of nature.
