Waves & Quotes

I got lost again today.
Even if it was cold, I escaped my home for a while and found myself next to the ocean. The temperature was low, the wind was strong and the waves were high and furious.

I was not intimidated.
I was there, taking in all the energy from nature.
The waves gave me strength, made me wiser and more powerful.

Of course I got images, some of which I will share with you.

And I also made an experiment — which I will share with you right now!

I asked both Gemini AI (by Google) and ChatGPT 3.5 the same thing.
Let’s check their responses.

What do you think I asked them?

To provide me with a few quotes of course!

My question:

I will make a photo blog post with wave images - can you advise 4-5 famous and empowering quotes about waves?

Ok, maybe it is not the best. I could have given a better prompt. But that’s what I thought of.

Gemini responded: "I’m still learning to create images so I can’t help you with that yet"

Come on! Maybe Gemini needs more training talking to me.

At last, these are the quotes it came up with!

1. "You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment." - Henry David Thoreau (This quote captures the spirit of embracing the constant change and opportunities presented by waves.)
2. "It is the long journey that often leads to the best destinations, not the shortcuts." - Susan Gale (Similar to the way waves travel vast distances before reaching the shore, this quote emphasizes the importance of perseverance and long-term vision.)
3. "Out of the night, a wave rears up, walls of green water, a cresting, roaring monster. But before it crashes, it hangs suspended, an immense, glittering jewel, poised on the brink of time..." - Rachel Carson (This quote highlights the awe-inspiring power and beauty of waves.)
4. "No wave is ever the same. No moment ever the same." - Virginia Woolf (This quote emphasizes the fleeting nature of moments and the constant change present in life, similar to the ever-shifting nature of waves.)
5. "Ride the wave. Don't fight it." - Joe Newton (This quote offers practical advice that can be applied both literally in surfing and metaphorically in navigating life's challenges.)

Asking ChatGPT 3,5 — even if my prompt was not the best, still it got exactly what it was supposed to do!

1. "You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf." - Jon Kabat-Zinn

2. "The voice of the sea speaks to the soul." - Kate Chopin

3. "Waves are the voices of tides. Tides are life." - Tamora Pierce

4. "The breaking of a wave cannot explain the whole sea." - Vladimir Nabokov

5. "You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty." - Mahatma Gandhi

These quotes capture the beauty, power, and metaphorical significance of waves, making them perfect for your photo blog post.

What do you think?

Did they pick good quotes?

I was happy that they picked different ones!

And maybe my favorite is the ”Ride the wave. Don’t fight it.” —by Joe Newton

It is similar to a quote of my own that goes “You cant fight fire with fire” and this means that you need to stay calm in order to find out the best solution for every issue. It’s the only way most of the times.

My pre-sunset closed with a visit to a new favorite baby friend that I visit every day.

She age, she smiled, she was happy and then went to get some sleep.
Others were fishing …

It’s nice to be outside :)

And I hope that you relaxed or feel more empowered reading this post today.

Thank you for visiting!
