We all love the sea, and the best of all our memories are related to it. We want to tell you what makes it so attractive to us, encouraging writers and poets to dedicate their works to it and artists to paint beautiful seascapes. We have collected the best short and beautiful sea life quotes. Many of the selected aphorisms belong to the authorship of great people, and many of them are considered popular. And all these statements about the sea so successfully and accurately describe the feelings that the sea blue gives us, that everyone who was at sea should like it. And to those who were not – to give the desire to go to the seaside right now.
