He who watches the sea doesn't know the sea.

He who watches the sea doesn't know the sea. He who sits by the shore doesn't know the sea. And he who comes only to look doesn't know the sea. Only he who dives knows the sea. He takes risks. He forgets the sea in the sea. He dissolves in the unknown, as he might in a lover. Nothing to separate the blueness from the water. And there you seize upon a world that words can't get hold of. It can't be seen or touched except in the depths of the sea. The sea is the sea.
