To be buried by the sea...
The Sea
"I really don't know why it is that all of us are so committed to the sea,
except I think it's because in addition to the fact that the sea changes,
and the light changes, and ships change, it's because we all came from the
sea. And it is an interesting biological fact that all of us have, in our
veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean,
and therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are
tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea--whether it is to sail or to
watch it--we are going back from whence we came."
John F. Kennedy Remarks in Newport at the Australian Ambassador's Dinner for the
America's Cup Crews, September 14, 1962, Public Papers of the Presidents: 1962, p. 684.
