“Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately steppint into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off--then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville“Life, from being made up of little separate incidents which one lived one by one, became curled and whole like a wave which bore one up with it and threw one down with it, there, with a dash on the beach.”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones.”
Julius Caesar • William Shakespeare“Whether he be an original or a plagiarist, man is the novelist of himself.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset“Immortality is but ubiquity in time.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville
