DICK; A STORY OF WHALING AND THE UNITED STATES
“Now, in his heart, Ahab had some glimpse of
this, namely: all my means are sane, my motive and my objective mad.”
“Death to the living, long life to the killers. Success tot sailor’s wives, and greasy luck to the whalers.”
“A wild, mystical, sympathetic feeling was in me; Ahab’s quenchless feud seemed mine.”
“If you inventively regard almost any quadruped’s spine, you will be struck with the resemblance of its vertebrae to a strung necklace of dwarfed skulls.”
“It was a terrific, most pitiable, and maddening site.”
“I. A fast whale fish belongs to the party fast to it.”
“II. A loose fish is fair game for anybody who can soonest catch it.”
“Like a mob of young collegians, they are full of fight, fun, and wickedness, tumbling around the world at such a reckless, rollicking rate.”
"It is not so curious, that so vast a being as the whale should see the world through so small an eye, and hear thunder through an ear which is smaller than a hare's."
"There is a certain mathematical symmetry in the sperm whale which the right whale sadly lacks."
“Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit at thee.”
“…what landsman would have thought that beneath all that silence and placidity, the utmost monster of the seas was writhing and wrenching in agony!”
“There is one god that is lord over the earth, and one captain that is lord over the Pequod.”
“Just because they were “superior wives” didn’t
mean the island’s women were not without normal physical desires.”
