"When they ask you why you love the rain, the ocean, the river, tell them it is because unlike the people who should have loved you better, the water was never afraid to touch you; even when you were at your most damaged and broken." Nikita Gill

What is an ocean, but a multitude of drops. - Adam Ewing (played by Jim Sturgess). Cloud Atlas.

Out of the huts of history's shameI riseUp from a past that's rooted in painI riseI'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fearI riseInto a daybreak that's wondrously clearI riseBringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,I am the dream and the hope of the slave.

I riseI riseI rise.

Maya Angelou

I gave up practically the whole world for you, I tell him, walking through the front door of my own love story.

The sun, stars, ocean, trees, everything, I gave it all up for you.

I'll Give You the Sun, Jandy Nelson
