407/625: “Seldom have I known any profound being that had anything to say to this world, unless forced to stammer out something by way of getting a living.” Big talk from someone who takes 2 pages to say “he tossed the rope”

380/625 "Genius in the Sperm Whale? Has the Sperm Whale ever written a book, spoken a speech? No, his great genius is declared in his doing nothing particular to prove it." this is how i prefer to think of myself too
