"There long he sojourned alone and roamed about the shore or fared over the rocks at the ebb, marvelling at the pools and the great weeds, the dripping caverns and the strange sea-fowl that he saw and came to know; but the rise and fall of the water and the voice of the waves was ever to him the greatest wonder and ever did it seem a new and unimaginable thing." ― J.R.R. Tolkien
"Like those crabs which dress themselves with seaweed, we wear belief and custom." ― Cyril Conolly
"Those rock pools were happy communities of starfish and hermit crabs alike, each of them with their special place in the ecosystem." ― Angela Abraham
