I baptize you not in the name ...

I baptize you not in the name of the father, but in the name of the devil. (Ego baptizo te in nomine patris, sed in nomine diaboli.)

Herman Melville 593 quotes

An intense copper calm, like a...

An intense copper calm, like a universal yellow lotus, was more and more unfolding its noiseless measureless leaves upon the sea.

Aye, aye! and I'll chase him round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the Norway Maelstrom, and round perdition's flames before I give him up.

Herman Melville 593 quotes

I have the satisfaction of kno...

I have the satisfaction of knowing that it is all right; that everybody else is one way or other served in much the same way--either in a physical or metaphysical point of view, that is; and so the universal thump is passed round, and all hands should rub each other's shoulder-blades, and be content.

Herman Melville 593 quotes

Take almost any path you pleas...

Take almost any path you please, and ten to one it carries you down in a dale, and leaves you there by a pool in the stream. There is magic in it. Let the most absent-minded of men be plunged in his deepest reveries--stand that man on his legs, set his feet a-going, and he will infallibly lead you to water, if water there be in all that region. Should you ever be athirst in the great American desert, try this experiment, if your caravan happen to be supplied with a metaphysical professor. Yes, as every one knows, medit

Man and boy, I have lived ever since I can remember.

Herman Melville 593 quotes

I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I'll go to it laughing.

Herman Melville 593 quotes

Methinks we have hugely mistak...

Methinks we have hugely mistaken this matter of Life and Death. Methinks that what they call my shadow here on earth is my true substance. Methinks that in looking at things spiritual, we are too much like oysters observing the sun through the water, and thinking that thick water the thinnest of air. Me thinks my body is but the lees of my better being. In fact take my body who will, take it I say, it is not me.

Herman Melville 593 quotes

Real strength never impairs be...

Real strength never impairs beauty or harmony, but it often bestows it, and in everything imposingly beautiful, strength has much to do with the magic.

Only the man who says no is fr...

Only the man who says no is free

Herman Melville 593 quotes

Better be secure under one kin...

Better be secure under one king, than exposed to violence from twenty millions of monarchs, though oneself be one of them.

Herman Melville 593 quotes

There never was a great man ye...

There never was a great man yet who spent all his life inland.

Herman Melville 593 quotes

Life's a voyage that's homeward bound.

Herman Melville 593 quotes

When beholding the tranquil be...

When beholding the tranquil beauty and brilliancy of the ocean's skin, one forgets the tiger heart that pants beneath it; and would not willingly remember that this velvet paw but conceals a remorseless fang.

I am madness maddened! That wild madness that's only calm to comprehend itself

Do not presume, well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed, to criticize the poor

Beneath those stars is a universe of gliding monsters.

It is the easiest thing in the world for a man to look as if he had a great secret in him.

Let faith oust fact; let fancy oust memory; I look deep down and do believe.

The path to my fixed purpose is laid with iron rails whereon my soul is grooved to run
