Erik Pevernagie
“People may implant their footprints in our walk of life and engrave their seal in our thinking; and their shadow may escort us throughout our whole life, remaining steady companions or permanent witnesses. They can, then, become points of reference that we can consult at any time. ("Not without you")”
Erik Pevernagie

Erik Pevernagie
“Codes and semiotic conventions are a challenge for human communication, since they seal off people with a privacy protection label and make them accessible only by means of a barcode that might estrange them from their surroundings but, at the same time, procure them a kind of reassurance in their comfort zone. This dialectical situation may keep them struggling during their entire life. ("The unbreakable code " )”
Erik Pevernagie

You can grasp the wound to feel the scar unhealed.”
Munia Khan

“There is no honor in sending men to die for something you won't even fight for yourself”
Mark Owen, No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden

Kusumastuti
“If she knew how beautiful love is, she would already put it in a box, seal, and preserve it.
So she could smell it whenever she wants.”
Kusumastuti, Denting Lara

Kamand Kojouri
“I have no use for these other loves.
Seal them shut in jars
and place them in the pantry.
A reserve of love.

Thank them for their love.
They are so kind.
Perhaps store them in the fridge
For others to take.

They say love is a panacea.
I know it is not.
Flakes of snow,
no two are alike.

When I am down on my knees,
hopeless and angry,
for the world no longer makes sense,
I won't look in the pantry or fridge.

It is your hand pressing on my shoulder
that makes me whole,
makes me forget.
What trouble? What world?”
Kamand Kojouri

Munia Khan
“Sealing your lips makes your eyes talk
Truth creeps beneath your lame feet’s walk
Knees stiffen when blood vessels stalk
A pounding heart’s lies hard as rock”
Munia Khan

Pamela Clare
“What's different about you? Why does it make you a pussy if you get help, but not the rest of the team? Oh, I get it. You're the Cobra. You get within striking distance of the enemy, and it's over. But if it all goes sideways and the wrong men die, you don't need help like the rest of us mere mortals.”
Pamela Clare, Striking Distance

Sara Jane Stone
“And when you're not partying in Vegas, what do you do?" she asked. "Prepare for your role as the next James Bond?"
"No, I don't work alone."
She cocked her head as if trying to make sense of his words.
"I'm a SEAL in Uncle Sam's Navy. When I'm working, I have a team of guys who could kick James Bond's ass watching my back, covering my six at all times.”
Sara Jane Stone, To Tempt a SEAL

Natalya Vorobyova
“For me to forgive my ex, he would have to sign a marriage contract with his tears and seal it with his blood.”
Natalya Vorobyova

“Why didn't I ask him for his number, address, e-mail — anything? Why? Because I'm in a sodding war zone, that's why. And I'm a soldier. And this wasn't supposed to happen.”
David Massey, Torn

Robert  O'Neill
“The troop commander's name was Rich...[and] he was one of the best leaders I've ever known. His motto, which I've stolen from him, is, 'Nobody ever worked for me. They worked with me.”
Robert O'Neill, The Operator: Firing the Shots that Killed Osama bin Laden and My Years as a SEAL Team Warrior

“Set the highest example. Remember, no one ever did anything absolutely right. Perfection is impossible, but striving for perfection is not. You have the power to do that.”
Dick Couch, The Warrior Elite: The Forging of SEAL Class 228

Munia Khan
“Life needs a room so hermetically sealed to breathe life”
Munia Khan

Orson Scott Card
“It was not about physical strength, Wit reminded himself. It was 90 percent mental, 10 percent physical. That's what the SEAL instructors were looking for: men and women who could disregard the pleadings of the body. Pain was nothing, sleep was nothing. What was chaffed skin, wrecked muscles, bleeding sores? The body chooses to be sore. The body chooses to be exhausted. But the SEAL mind rejects it. The SEAL mind commands the body, not the other way around.”
Orson Scott Card, Earth Awakens

Robert  O'Neill
“...the daily morning muster began beneath a sign that said, 'Are you ready for war today? You should be.' SEALs hadn't fired a shot in anger for years. But nobody ever admitted that around civilians, even to their closest non-SEAL friends.”
Robert O'Neill, The Operator: Firing the Shots that Killed Osama bin Laden and My Years as a SEAL Team Warrior

Munia Khan
“The amazing face of the motherly mammal of a seal near the oceanic shore has more honesty to offer to our world than the unreliable feature of a two-faced politician.”
Munia Khan

Rosemary Gemmell
“As they strolled along the firm part of the beach, Cate paused. She’d been looking at the calm sea ebbing and flowing when she saw a black blob on the surface. “Look, that’s not just a rock, is it?” she asked. Lyall followed her gaze. “I do believe it’s a seal popping up to have a look around.” “Oh, how adorable! I’ve never seen a real one, except at the zoo long ago.”
Rosemary Gemmell, Highcrag

Gillian McClure
“A greedy man can never learn the language of the sea.”
Gillian McClure, Selkie

“Walk on with the spirit of boldness; talk on with the glory of confidence. You have a mandated seal on your chest... When you go with a bold chest, the devil and his cohorts must give way!”
Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes

“There are no more ceilings over my dreams... They have no limit; they limitless! They are extra-large!”

Kylie Brant
“Reaching out, he took her hand. “We’re going to be ready. Whether it’s tonight, tomorrow or the next day . . . we’ll be prepared. I won’t let anyone hurt you or the kids.”
Relief flickered across her face. “This isn’t your fight. I feel guilty for making it seem like it is. But I’m also glad you’re here and that makes me feel guilty again, so . . . ”
“Guilt’s a useless emotion.” He made peace with that much in rehab. It was useless to feel guilty that he’d made it home alive from Pakistan when some of his team mates hadn’t been so lucky. Equally worthless was his guilt over his sense of loss about his leg when Colton hadn’t come home at all. “You need the kind of help I can provide. And I don’t mind helping. I’ve always . . . ” Liked you, is what he meant to say. Maybe cared a little. But his throat stopped working and the words remained trapped in his brain. Which had become strangely disconnected with logic. Because instead of saying more, he leaned in slightly and kissed her.”
Kylie Brant

“A tall woman strode over to them, shouldering her rifle. Her helmet hid her hair, but her goggles were up, showing blazing blue eyes. “I’m Valkyrie, the team leader.” She waved a hand at the dark-skinned soldier holding him up. “Doc’s our medic, he’ll see to your leg.”
Rhys didn’t move and the woman’s face turned harsher than the mountains surrounding them.
“Do you have a problem, sailor?” She knew they were SEALs, even without identifying insignia.
“No, sir,” Rhys said. “I mean, ma’am.”

She rolled her eyes before facing Jake. “My team can handle this from here. Get on the bird.”
Jake shook his head in confusion, pain making his thinking slow. “You’re a woman.”
Her voice hardened. “I’m a captain, and you’re done here. This is now my mission.”
“You’re not spec ops.” Jake’s leg might be screaming at him, but no American woman was allowed in special operations.
“We’re better than spec ops,” she said. “We’re E.D.G.E. operators. Now get your ass onboard.” She walked away.

“I think I’m in love,” Rhys said, staring after her.”
Trish Loye, Edge of Control

Petter Dass
“Her var ey at tøve, den Hane blev spendt,
En gloende Kuule hen venlig forsendt
Den skind-klæde Skolt bag sit Øre;
Det smaget ham ligesom nye-smeltet Bly,
De andre hans Grander begyndte at flye,
Vil Selskab der længer ey giøre.”
Petter Dass, The Trumpet of Nordland

“The people around me gasp in recognition of the seal.”
Rae Carson, The Girl of Fire and Thorns

Erica Bauermeister
“The surface of the water quieted into a mirror; it looked as if we were moving through two worlds, with trees living equally above and below the surface. A seal head emerged, and its liquid brown eyes watched us pass. I could smell magic in the air again, and I wanted to sob with the relief and pain of it.
This is who you are, the trees said.
"Oh," I said, so low I didn't think it was even a sound.”
Erica Bauermeister, The Scent Keeper

Chris Kyle
“It was my duty to shoot the enemy, and I don't regret it. My regrets are for the people I couldn't save: Marines, soldiers, buddies. I'm not naive, and I don't romanticize war. The worst moments of my life have come as a SEAL. But I can stand before God with a clear conscience about doing my job.”
Chris Kyle

“but fiction is more
than a curse:
it is a binding seal
that makes one understand
far more than he ever thought
possible”
