Famous quotes by Peter Benchley:

"You're much more likely to be attacked by lightning or by your own toilet than you are by a shark,"

"The great fish moved silently through the night water, propelled by short sweeps of its crescent tail"

"I dive as much as I can."

"If man doesn't learn to treat the oceans and the rain forest with respect, man will become extinct."

"I'm a babe in the woods when it comes to the Internet."

"I read very widely, both non-fiction and fiction, so I don't think there's a single writer who influences me."

"Twenty-five years ago nobody knew much about white sharks."

"Writing is sweat and drudgery most of the time. And you have to love it in order to endure the solitude and the discipline."

"I believe implicitly that every young man in the world is fascinated with either sharks or dinosaurs."

"I guess I'm a hopeful optimist, because to be a pessimist is to be suicidal."

"Reputations rise and fall almost as regularly as the tides."

"Since writing JAWS, I've been lucky enough to do close to forty television shows about wildlife in the oceans, and yes, I have been attacked by sea creatures once in a while."

"I don't believe in blaming inanimate objects for anything."

"Without the oceans there would be no life on Earth."

"I've never been hurt by a sea creature, except for jellyfish and sea urchins."
