The world of Homer, limited by the coast-lines of the Mediterranean and Black seas, was a far vaster world than ours of today, which we weigh, measure, and compute as accurately and as easily as if it were a child's play-ball. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The provision of ecosystem goods and services will be disrupted with coast-lines and mountaintops more susceptible to irreversible losses. ❋ Unknown (2008)
When one takes flights down the NA coast and looks out the windows of the jet, there are long stretches (100's of km) of lagoons, along the coast-lines of Sinaloa and Nayarit, where thrive many shrimp farms. ❋ Unknown (2006)
I think I recognised the cloud-dimmed coast-lines of France and Spain and the south of England, and then, with a click, the shutter closed again, and I found myself in a state of extraordinary confusion sliding slowly over the smooth glass. ❋ Herbert George (2006)
When we consider that all these pebbles, countless as the grains of sand in the desert, have been derived from the slow falling of masses of rock on the old coast-lines and banks of rivers, and that these fragments have been dashed into smaller pieces, and that each of them has since been slowly rolled, rounded, and far transported, the mind is stupefied in thinking over the long, absolutely necessary, lapse of years. ❋ Unknown (2003)
Pacific and Indian Oceans extend in lines parallel to the generally prevailing strike of the high islands and great coast-lines of those oceans. ❋ Unknown (2003)

A serried rank of range upon range of hills, reaching north and south as far as the eye could see from the masthead, was rising above our horizon behind a very surfeit of islands, bewildering the minds of men accustomed to our English and North Sea coast-lines. ❋ Wilfred Thomason Grenfell (1902)
