Herman Melville
“Seat thyself sultanically among the moons of Saturn, and take high abstracted man alone; and he seems a wonder, a grandeur, and a woe. But from that same point, take mankind in mass, and for the most part, they seem a mob of unnecessary duplicates, both contemporary and hereditary.”
Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

“It is said that men condemned to death are subject to sudden moments of elation; as if, like moths in the fire, their destruction were coincidental with attainment.”
John le Carré, The Spy Who Came In from the Cold

Herman Melville
“All men live enveloped in whale-lines. All are born with halters round their necks; but it is only when caught in the swift, sudden turn of death, that mortals realize the silent, subtle, ever-present perils of life.”
Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

Herman Melville
“It is not down on any map; true places never are.”
Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale

Herman Melville
“Human madness is oftentimes a cunning and most feline thing. When you think it fled, it may have but become transfigured into some still subtler form.”
Herman Melville, Moby-Dick or, The Whale
