I can honestly say that this is my favorite sentence in any work of literature i’ve ever read, due to the simplicity of it. In our tireless lives we never find a moment of just bliss and this sentence represents the ultimate bliss, inner peace if you will.

“And though all the years since then have been for me one long story of a harbor, restless, heaving, changing, always changing, it has never changed for me in this, it has never seemed a haven where ships come to dock, but always a place from which ships start out, into the storms and the fogs of the seas, over the ocean to heathen lands.”
