| "Grub, ho!" now cried the landlord, flinging open a door, and in we went to breakfast. | Herman Melville | Moby Dick |  | | Methinks that what they call my shadow here on earth is my true substance. Methinks that in looking at things spiritual, we are too much like oysters observing the sun through the water, and thinking that thick water the thinnest of air. | Herman Melville | Moby Dick | | | Let America add Mexico to Texas, and pile Cuba upon Canada; let the English overswarm all India, and hang out their blazing banner from the sun; two thirds of this terraqueous globe are the Nantucketer's. For the sea is his; he owns it . . . | Herman Melville | Moby Dick | | | By this, he seemed to mean, not only that the most reliable and useful courage was that which arises from the fair estimation of the encountered peril, but that an utterly fearless man is a far more dangerous comrade than a coward. | Herman Melville | Moby Dick | | | For, as when the red-cheeked, dancing girls, April and May, trip home to the wintry, misanthropic woods; even the barest, ruggedest, most thunder-cloven old oak will at least send forth some few green sprouts, to welcome such glad-hearted visitants . . . | Herman Melville | Moby Dick | | | The starred and stately nights seemed haughty dames in jewelled velvets, nursing at home in lonely pride, the memory of their absent conquering Earls, the golden helmeted suns! | Herman Melville | Moby Dick | | | Is he mad? Anyway there's something on his mind, as sure as there must be something on a deck when it cracks. | Herman Melville | Moby Dick | | | "They think me mad--Starbuck does; but I'm demoniac, I am madness maddened! That wild madness that's only calm to comprehend itself!" | Herman Melville | Moby Dick | | | . . . however baby man may brag of his science and skill, and however much, in a flattering future, that science and skill may augment; yet for ever and for ever, to the crack of doom, the sea will insult and murder him, and pulverize the stateliest, stiffest frigate he can make; nevertheless, by the continual repetition of these very impressions, man has lost that sense of the full awfulness of the sea which aboriginally belongs to it. | Herman Melville | Moby Dick | | | Yea, foolish mortals, Noah's flood is not yet subsided; two thirds of the fair world it yet covers. | Herman Melville | Moby Dick | |
