“I’m never lost at sea. It’s the shore that doesn’t know where to find me.”
— Noah Clooney
About the Quote & Noah Clooney
Born on August 7, 1955, in a coastal town in Maine, Noah Clooney is a distinguished maritime philosopher and former U.S. Navy navigator. He studied at the United States Naval Academy, where he blended navigation with philosophical inquiry. After years at sea, he authored works such as Sailing the Soul: Navigating Life’s Seas, exploring the parallels between ocean voyages and life’s journey.
Today’s quote reflects his unique perspective: Noah insists he’s not lost at sea—rather, it’s the shore that loses track of him. This subtle reversal highlights his belief that feeling “lost” is often about how we frame our experience. For a man who spent his life steering through real and metaphorical waters, it’s a reminder that our sense of direction is sometimes more about mindset than geography.
