  Sylvia Plath: "When they asked some old Roman philosopher or other how he wanted to die, he said he would open his veins in a warm bath. I thought it would be easy, lying in the tub and seeing the redness flower from my wrists, flush after flush through the clear water, till I sank to sleep under a surface gaudy as poppies.But when it came right down to it, the skin of my wrist looked so white and defenceless that I couldn't do it. It was as if what I wanted to kill wasn't in that skin or the thin blue pulse that jumped under my thumb, but somewhere else, deeper, more secret, and a whole lot harder to get at." # Water # Love # Philosophers and Philosophy

  Pablo Neruda: "Sonnet XXXIV (You are the daughter of the sea)
  
  You are the daughter of the sea,
  oregano's first cousin.
  Swimmer, your body is pure as the water;
  cook, your blood is quick as the soil.
  Everything you do is full of flowers, rich with the earth.
  
  Your eyes go out toward the water, and the waves rise;
  your hands go out to the earth and the seeds swell;
  you know the deep essence of water and the earth,
  conjoined in you like a formula for clay.
  
  Naiad: cut your body into turquoise pieces,
  they will bloom resurrected in the kitchen.
  This is how you become everything that lives.
  
  And so at last, you sleep, in the circle of my arms
  that push back the shadows so that you can rest -
  vegetables, seaweed, herbs: the foam of your dreams." # Sea # Love # Death and Dying

  Albert Camus: "As usual I finish the day before the sea, sumptuous this evening beneath the moon, which writes Arab symbols with phosphorescent streaks on the slow swells. There is no end to the sky and the waters. How well they accompany sadness!" # Sea # Love # Writers and Writing

  Source Unknown: "Before water generates steam, it must register 212 of heat; 200 will not do it. The water must boil to generate enough steam to move an engine. Lukewarm water will not run anything. Lukewarmness will not generate life's work." # Concentration # Life and Living # Engineering

  Og Mandino: "The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish good results while the strongest, by dispersing his effort over many chores, may fail to accomplish anything. Drops of water, by continually falling, hone their passage through the hardest of rocks but the hasty torrent rushes over it with hideous uproar and leaves no trace behind." # Concentration # Death and Dying # Failure
