"Think a truly radical thought: think what a revolution it would be if everyone on earth played in the surf once a week. How much depression and suicide, how much hatred and violence, how much resentment, and anger and envy and boredom and addiction, how many wars and murders and plots and tyrannies would just go out like a candle in the water? The sea is a peacemaker. How can surfers be warmongers? How can anyone drenched with the wisdom of playwater ever come up with this brilliant idea, the idea that's moved so much of our history? - "Hey, it seems we've got problems. Let's deal with them this way: let's dress up in funny uniforms and go out and kill each other."

In my next life I will be a surfer. I know I said that last life, but this time I mean it.
