• I always tell people I'm grateful for my cancer diagnosis because it was the greatest gift because it completely changed my life. I was able to stop and let my whole life and world just crash over me like a wave. And I stood there and went, 'Wow.' And for the first time, I stopped everything. I had to.

• I always feel like 'as long as I'm doin' what I love to do, the money's naturally gonna come.' When you start thinkin' business and you start thinkin' 'What's hot? What's the wave? Who is hot? Let's get at that person,' it becomes a point where you're tryin' to strategize to make money. And that's always a gamble.

• Prayer cleanses from sin, drives away temptations, stamps out persecutions, comforts the fainthearted, gives new strength to the courageous, brings travellers safely home, calms the waves, confounds robbers, feeds the poor, overrules the rich, lifts up the fallen, supports those who are falling, sustains those who stand firm.

  Tertuliano

• But I looked out at the waves far below the bluff. They looked violent, erupting against the cliff. I watched them rising - up, up, higher, higher - then falling, crashing, swirling into chaos, passing away. I breathed deeply. I tried to breathe space between my thoughts, find the space between the anger.

• There’s always going to be ups and downs in life and it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t feel the pain. Pain is good. It makes you stronger in time. You will realize how great the ‘great’ really is. Life is about ups and downs. You just have to be able to ride the waves.

• The sun does not shine for a few trees, and flowers, but for the wide world's joy. The lonely pine on the mountain-top waves its sombre boughs and cries, 'Thou art my sun.' And the little meadow violet lifts its cup of blue, and whispers with its perfumed breath, 'Thou art my sun.' And the grain in a thousand fields rustles in the wind, and makes answer, 'Thou art my sun.' So God sits effulgent in heaven, not for a favored few, but for the universe of life; and there is no creature so poor or so low that he may not look up with childish confidence and say, 'My Father, Thou art mine.

• Surfing also teaches quality . I will wager that it is not the number of waves that makes a session memorable for any given surfer, but that one beautiful wave that he or she waited for … and rode all the way the way to shore.

• Sobre las olas del arroyo baila, la luz, la encantadora libélula; baila aquí, baila allá, la brillante, brillante hermosa flautista. Y muchos jóvenes escarabajos tontos se impresionan por el vestido de gasa azul en el que está vestida; admiran el esmalte que la adorna brillante, y su elegante cintura tan delgada y ligera.

• Every day you're alive, you can change the world. It could be for the better or for the worse. It can be big waves or small waves. The very fact that you're alive and breathing and walking outside, going to class, whatever it is, you're changing the world with each footstep. There's a lot of weight to that.

• See how peaceful it is here. The sea is everything. An immense reservoir of nature where I roam at will.... 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. Here I am free.

  Earl Felton

• Se supone que las personas que piensan correctamente no pueden hablar de ningún acontecimiento meteorológico o geofísico -un huracán, un incendio forestal, una ola de calor, una sequía, una inundación, una ventisca, un tornado, un rayo, una brisa desconocida, un extraño cosquilleo en la nuca- sin invocar inmediatamente la crisis climática. Provoca terremotos, plagas y decepciones en la jardinería de traspatio. ¿Hongos extraños en tus tomateras? La clásica señal del calentamiento global.

• A little criticism makes me angry, and a little rejection makes me depressed. A little praise raises my spirits, and a little success excites me. It takes very little to raise me up or thrust me down. Often I am like a small boat on the ocean, completely at the mercy of its waves. All the time and energy I spend in keeping some kind of balance and preventing myself from being tipped over and drowning shows my life is mostly a struggle for survival: not a holy struggle, but an anxious struggle resulting from the mistaken idea that it is the world that defines me.

• The fun-seekers, I noted, were spontaneous and flexible. They approached each day and each situation with a willingness to ride whatever wave came along, just for the experience of it. The complainers, on the other hand, would only catch a wave if it was exactly to their liking. Anything else drew loud protestations about how it was not what they expected.

• He aquí que he alcanzado la cima de la montaña y mi espíritu ha alzado el vuelo en los cielos de la libertad y la liberación. Me he ido lejos, muy lejos, oh hijos de mi madre; las colinas más allá de las nieblas están ahora ocultas a mi vista, los últimos vestigios de los valles han sido inundados por el océano de la serenidad, y los caminos y senderos han sido borrados por la mano del olvido. El rugido de las olas del océano se ha desvanecido. Ya no oigo más que el himno de la eternidad, que armoniza con el espíritu.

  Khalil Gibran

• To lose your everyday life of surfing and being creative on waves, enjoying the ocean - that's scary to me. It was essential to at least try surfing again and get out there and see how it went.

• Me encuentro en el extremo de una larga playa. ¡Con qué alegría salta el espíritu y amplía de pronto su sentido de ser a toda la extensión de la ancha, azul y soleada profundidad! ¡Un saludo y un homenaje al mar! Desciendo sobre su margen, y sumerjo mi mano en la ola que me sale al encuentro, y baño mi frente. Ese rugido lejano es la voz de bienvenida del Océano. Su aliento salado trae consigo una bendición.
