the meaning of now for you, me and all of us (11 June 2016)

The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.

- Jacques Cousteau

From birth, we carry the weight of gravity on our shoulders. We are bolted to earth. But we have only to sink beneath the surface and we are free.

- Jacques Cousteau

The sea, the great unifier, is man's only hope. Now, as never before, the old phrase has a literal meaning: we are all in the same boat.

- Jacques Cousteau

If you're not gonna tell the truth, then why start talking?

- Gene Wilder

It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There is almost no such thing as ready. There is only now. And you may as well do it now. Generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.

- Hugh Laurie

Keep on being yourself.
