“I discovered that our clan included loads of cousins and uncles and aunts and animals of every shape. I was taught that chaos and competition were family values. And I learned that we all loved the sea. Somehow, the sea was about us—our past, our exuberance, our frailty, our longing. ” ~Timothy Shriver
“I felt the poem (Emily Dickinson’s “Exultation Is the Going”) was a gift from my mother, a message across time and space to remember that the sea still holds her spirit and that sailing across the ocean is perhaps the best way I’ll ever find to experience eternity. ” ~Timothy Shriver
