13 Quotes About the OCEAN (or Any Large Body of Water)
01. "Think of it. On the surface there is hunger and fear. Men still exercise unjust laws. They fight, tear one another to pieces. A mere few feet beneath the waves their reign ceases, their evil drowns. Here on the ocean floor is the only independence." - Captain Nemo (James Mason) - 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA
