Quotes on the sea

[Here is a bunch of quotes which essentially cross my mind whenever I see a sea.]

As rivers flowing into the ocean lose themselves in the ocean casting off name and form, so the knower freed from name and form attains the Divine Purusha who is higher than the high.
Mundaka Upanishad 3.2.8

I am like the ocean, and the multiplicity of objects is comparable to a wave. To know this is knowledge, and then there is neither renunciation, acceptance or cessation of it.
Ashtavakra Gita 6.2

That man attains peace into whom all desires enter in the same way as the waters flow into a sea that remains unchanged (even) when being filled up from all sides. Not so one who is desirous of objects.
Bhagavad Gita 2.70
