The never-ceasing boom of the great ocean as it breaks on the Beach, drowns all smaller sounds.
alexander maclaren[The assault units] were disorganized, had suffered heavy casualties and were handicapped by losses of valuable equipment.... They were pinned down along the Beach by intense enemy fire.... Personnel and equipment were being piled ashore... where congested groups afforded food targets for the enemy.
Love the sea? I dote upon it from the Beach.
Douglas William JerroldIn every outthrust headland, in every curving Beach, in every grain of sand there is the story of the earth.
rachel carsonI started taking ballet lessons when I was 4, and I was performing in ballet companies when I was 10, and I did summer stock in Miami Beach when I was 12, and finally I said, 'I gotta go to Broadway .'
rita rudnerWriting anything, it sorta starts the way you'd build a castle at the Beach. You're just taking your hands and you're mounting up sand.
aaron sorkinTo go out with the setting sun on an empty Beach is to truly embrace your solitude.
Jeanne MoreauThere's only one way to prepare for playing Beach volleyball, and that's by getting in the sand.
Kerri Walsh JenningsIt takes a lot of hard work and dedication just like any pro sport. Especially for Beach volleyball you don't have to be tall or as fast as other sports. You just have to have the skills.
Misty May-TreanorThe sun shines everywhere, not just at the Beach.
brande roderickI like anywhere with a Beach. A Beach and warm weather is all I really need.
Rob gronkowskiIn this big ball of people, I'm just one grain of sand on this Beach.
auroraBut the beaches are always open 'cause the ocean, she never sleeps.
So turn around and come on down, the Beach is free.
Standing on a Beach somewhere
Looking for something to see
As the Beach rolls in, I swear
It's bringing something to me
When I lie on the Beach there naked, which I do sometimes, and I feel the wind coming over me and I see the stars up above and I am looking into this very deep, indescribable night, it is something that escapes my vocabulary to describe. Then I think: 'God, I have no importance. Whatever I do or don't do, or what anybody does, is not more important than the grains of sand that I am lying on, or the coconut that I am using for my pillow.' So I really don't think in the long sense.
Marlon BrandoTotal physical and mental inertia are highly agreeable, much more so than we allow ourselves to imagine. A Beach not only permits such inertia but enforces it, thus neatly eliminating all problems of guilt. It is now the only place in our overly active world that does.
john kenneth galbraithI remember thinking that walking on the Beach as a free man is pretty desirable.
pierre trudeauOne might as well claim that the tide which rubs pebbles smooth on a Beach is doing the pebbles a service because being round is prettier than being jagged. It's of no concern to a pebble what shape it is. But it's very important to a person.
john brunnerYou wouldn't want Alan Greenspan to write the instructions for assembling a Beach chair.
robert orbenEverybody here drove around like a dedicated loser, expecting moment to moment to get into an accident. Doc could relate to this it was like the Beach, where you lived in a climate of unquestioning hippie belief, pretending to trust everybody while always expecting to be sold out but he didn't have to enjoy that either, especially.
thomas pynchonHow long is it going to take before lawyers realize that the simple act of trying to repress something they don't like online is likely to make it so that something that most people would never, ever see (like a photo of a urinal in some random Beach resort) is now seen by many more people? Let's call it the Streisand Effect.
I'd rather be on Blackpool Beach than Bondi Beach.
