“In the immutability of their surroundings the foreign shores, the foreign faces, the changing immensity of life, glide past, veiled not by a sense of mystery but by a slightly disdainful ignorance; for there is nothing mysterious to a seaman unless it be the sea itself, which is the mistress of his existence and as inscrutable as Destiny.”
Joseph Conrad quotes (English novelist, 1857-1924)

“It is surely a matter of common observation that a man who knows no one thing intimately has no views worth hearing on things in general.

Charles Horton Cooley quotes
