"How disquieting it is to walk alone by the sea! Each wave, each bird in the sky calls to you and reminds you of your duty."

The Blues Brothers (1980) 

"The unfailing rhythm of the seasons, the ever-turning wheel of life, the four facets of the earth which are lit in turn by the sun, the passing of life--all these filled me once more with a feeling of oppression. Once more there sounded within me, together with the cranes' cry, the terrible warning that there is only one life for all men, that there is no other, and that all that can be enjoyed must be enjoyed here. In eternity no other chance will be given to us."

Zorba the Greek, Nikos Kazantzakis
