More from Herman Melville
"All deep, earnest thinking is but the intrepid effort of the soul to keep the open independence of her sea."
"But the soul is a sort of intensely black pearl, which, though glimmering sometimes with an awful resplendence, is yet oftenest incrusted with an unbearable scurf."
"I would rather be a fool than a wise man."
"As for me, I am a savage, owing no allegiance but to the King of the Cannibals; and ready at any time to rebel against him."
"Truly, to enjoy thoroughly the true poetry of the sea, your poem must preserve all its wildest prose."
