Suffering in life can uncover untold depths of character and unknown strength for service.

Post-traumatic stress disorder didn’t surface as a condition until 1980... that fact was very relevant when I remember back to how these men behaved. A lot of walking on eggshells was required for wives and children (Surface Quotes)
The only technology that can ‘see’ beneath the ground is radar imagery. But satellite imagery also allows scientists to map short- and long-term changes to the Earth’s surface. Buried archaeological remains affect the overlying vegetation, soils and even water in different ways, depending on the landscapes you’re examining (Surface Quotes)
To an observer situated on the moon or on one of the planets, the most noticeable feature on the surface of our globe would no doubt be the large areas covered by oceanic water. The sunlit face of the earth would appear to shine by the light diffused back into space from the land and water-covered areas (Surface Quotes)
The first time I worked with colors was by making these mosaics of Pantone swatches. They end up being very large pictures, and I photographed with a very large camera - an 8x10 camera.

All of our media is made of language: our films, our music, our images, and of course our words. How different this is from analog production, where, if you were somehow able to peel back the emulsion from, say, a photograph, you wouldn’t find a speck of language lurking below the surface (Surface Quotes)
The surface below your feet is so special. It is not like a boxing ring, not like a wrestling mat, it’s its own thing, and when I am there, I am floating, I am moving with total freedom, I am free. And when you know, when you just know you are going to win, like I do, there is no better feeling (Surface Quotes)
I understand that computers, which I once believed to be but a hermaphrodite typewriter-cum-filing cabinet, offer the cyber literate increased ability to communicate. I do not think this is altogether a bad thing, however it may appear on the surface (Surface Quotes)

The glacier was God’s great plough set at work ages ago to grind, furrow, and knead over, as it were, the surface of the earth. (Surface Quotes)
A hot air balloon requires a great deal of fuel to keep it aloft, so that you can’t fly it even for one day. A gas balloon, which usually uses helium, has the problem that the helium cools at night when the sun is not on it, and you have to throw ballast overboard to keep it from going to the surface. (Surface Quotes)
The environment is everything that makes up our surroundings and affects our ability to live on the earth - the air we breathe, the water that covers most of the earth’s surface, the plants and animals around us, the overall condition of our planet, and much more. (Surface Quotes)

The water is alive. It is alive. If we could get a mask and fins and drop down off these docks, we’d see snook and redfish and probably goliath grouper. And it’s an amazing world unto itself and a very thin demarcation between one world and the other. You know, the distance of the water surface. (Surface Quotes)
Vengeance is the act of turning anger in on yourself. On the surface it may be directed at someone else, but it is a surefire recipe for arresting emotional recovery. (Surface Quotes)
