Text Quotes
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 Quotes)
We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects (Herman Melville Quotes)
Because no man can ever feel his own identity aright except his eyes be closed; as if darkness were indeed the proper element of our essences, though light be more congenial to our clayey part (Herman Melville Quotes)
... that one most perilous and long voyage ended, only begins a second; and a second ended, only begins a third, and so on, for ever and for aye. Such is the endlessness, yea, the intolerableness of all earthly effort (Herman Melville Quotes)
Evil is the chronic malady of the universe, and checked in one place, breaks forth in another (Herman Melville Quotes)
Doesn’t the devil live forever; who ever heard that the devil was dead? Did you ever see any person wearing mourning for the devil? (Herman Melville Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Are not half our lives spent in reproaches for foregone actions, of the true nature and consequences of which we were wholly ignorant at the time? (Herman Melville Quotes)
Give not thyself up, then, to fire, lest it invert thee, deaden thee, as for the time it did me. There is a wisdom that is woe; but there is a woe that is madness (Herman Melville Quotes)
As for me, I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote. I love to sail forbidden seas, and land on barbarous coasts (Herman Melville Quotes)
Book! You lie there; the fact is, you books must know your places. You’ll do to give us the bare words and facts, but we come in to supply the thoughts (Herman Melville Quotes)
Surely no mere mortal who has at all gone down into himself will ever pretend that his slightest thought or act solely originates in his own defined identity (Herman Melville Quotes)
It is better to fail in originality, than to succeed in imitation. He who has never failed somewhere, that man can not be great. Failure is the true test of greatness (Herman Melville Quotes)
An intense copper calm, like a universal yellow lotus, was more and more unfolding its noiseless measureless leaves upon the sea (Herman Melville Quotes)
This divineness had that in it which, though commanding worship, at the same time enforced a certain nameless terror (Herman Melville Quotes)
In thoughts of the visions of the night, I saw long rows of angels in paradise, each with his hands in a jar of spermaceti (Herman Melville Quotes)
He pressed his forehead against mine, clasped me around my waist, and said henceforth we were married (Herman Melville Quotes)
Strange as it may seem, there is nothing in which a young and beautiful female appears to more advantage than in the art of smoking (Herman Melville Quotes)
I do not think I have any uncharitable prejudice against the rattlesnake, still, I should not like to be one (Herman Melville Quotes)
The sea had jeeringly kept his finite body up, but drowned the infinite of his soul (Herman Melville Quotes)
None but a good man is really a living man, and the more good any man does, the more he really lives. All the rest is death, or belongs to it (Herman Melville Quotes)
What man who carries a heavenly soul in him, has not groaned to perceive, that unless he committed a sort of suicide as to the practical things of this world, he never can hope to regulate his earthly conduct by that same heavenly soul? (Herman Melville Quotes)
War should be carried on like a monsoon; one changeless determination of every particle towards the one unalterable aim (Herman Melville Quotes)
Of all insults, the temporary condescension of a master to a slave is the most outrageous and galling. That potentate who most condescends, mark him well; for that potentate, if occasion come, will prove your uttermost tyrant (Herman Melville Quotes)
There’s something ever egotistical in mountain tops and towers, and all things grand and lofty (Herman Melville Quotes)
No mercy, no power but its own controls it. Panting and snorting like a mad battle steed that has lost its rider, the masterless ocean overruns the globe (Herman Melville Quotes)
In armies, navies, cities, or families, in nature herself, nothing more relaxes good order than misery (Herman Melville Quotes)
Thus it often is, that the constant friction of illiberal minds wears out at last the best resolves of the more generous (Herman Melville Quotes)
Not one man in five cycles, who is wise, will expect appreciative recognition from his fellows, or any one of them (Herman Melville Quotes)
A good laugh is a mighty good thing, and rather too scarce a good thing; the more’s the pity. So, if any one man, in his own proper person, afford stuff for a good joke to anybody, let him not be backward, but let him cheerfully allow himself to spend and be spent in that way. And the man that has anything bountifully laughable about him, be sure there is more in that man than you perhaps think for (Herman Melville Quotes)
