Stories of seafarers drawn by the horizon line and a quest, the gentle waves on the shore and the tides represented to them an innate truth of more.

Quoted in "An Extension of the Soul," the American novelist, Herman Melville, best known for the literary masterpiece "Moby-Dick," wrote, "There's magic in the water that that draws all men away from the land that leads them over hills, down creeks, and streams and rivers to the sea."

In "Mystery & Magic," James Cameron, the director of Titanic, and the AVATAR films is quoted, "Every time you dive, you hope you'll see something new-some new species. Sometimes the ocean gives you a gift sometimes it doesn't."

The late President John F. Kennedy is quoted, "We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch-we are going back from whence we came."

As the sea, like artistic expression and beauty, is interpretated by the beholder, the entirety of the population from the least to the greatest who has seen the ocean in its vastness, tranquility, strength winter chill or summer's warmth, is left with an impression, a memory for which only the mind's canvass can recreate.

We read quotes from those we admire like Ernest Hemingway, Robert Henri, Vanessa, Vincent van Gogh, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Sylvia Earle, Mahatma Gandhi, Jean-Michael Cousteau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Langston Hughes, Whoopi Goldberg, Samuel Beckett, Paul Allen, Jules Verne, Jacques Yves Couteau, Van Morrison, Kate Chopin, and Jimmy Buffet, and so many more and realize we too have a connection with those who were once standing on a shoreline staring out at the vastness of the ocean and felt, whether it be a moment of clarity, confirmation, clearness. The ocean spoke to us.

The Ocean Lover's Quotation Book inspires with a collection of over 200 inspirational and meaningful quotes perfect for every lover of the great seas from beachcombers to passionate environmentalists.

She also introduces a section on "Wine," and the words of those who see wine as a gift from the gods, as Mireille Guiliano, French American author and former LVMH executive, "We drink wine not to dull our senses, but to awaken them." From Plato, "Nothing more excellent or valuable than wine was ever granted by the Gods to man." Pope Pius XII is quoted, "Wine in itself is an excellent thing."

From "Art," she describes the ultimate artistic expression of creating more than a visually pleasing plate but pleasing to the palette as well, an intimate experience, one that when created from love can even awaken sensuality.

From Sarah Lalansky & Alan "Skip" Hause of the Hause Restaurant Group, "Like any fine art, cookery require taste and creativity and appreciation of beauty and a mastery of technique." The legendary Edouard de Pomaine, a gastronome, a scientist, and a food writer wrote, "With the seven notes of the musical scale one can compose millions of different musical symphonies. With the far more numerous notes of the culinary scale one ought to be able to compose millions of culinary symphonies."

With more than 200 quotes from Maya Angelou, James Beard, Julia Child, Jacques Pepin, Thomas Keller, Plato, and many others A Chef's Book of Favorite Culinary Quotations reads like poetry to the romantic.
