"It cannot be much matter of surprise that some whalemen should go still further in their superstitions; declaring Moby Dick not only...

"The whaleman is wrapped by influences all tending to make his fancy pregnant with many a mighty birth."

"Now if all the waves were women, then I'd go drown."

"Oh, life! It's now that I do feel the latent horror in thee!"

"Because a laugh's the wisest, easiest answer to all that's strange."

"Oh God! To sail with such a heathen crew that have small touch of human mothers in them."

"Time and Tide flow wide. The hated whale has the round watery world to swim in, as the gold-fish has its glassy globe"

"Be the prophet and the fulfiller one. That's more than ye, ye great gods, ever were."

"Sinners, gentlemen, most abound in holiest vicinities."

"They think me mad; but I'm demonic, I am madness maddened!"
