"Here's food for thought, had Ahab time to think; but Ahab never thinks; he only feels, feels, feels, that's tingling enough for mortal man! to think's audacity. God only has that right and privilege. Thinking is, or ought to be, a coolness and a calmness; and our poor hearts throb, and our poor brains beat too much for that. And yet, I've sometimes thought my brain was very calm—frozen calm, this old skull cracks so, like a glass in which the contents turn to ice, and shiver it." -Moby Dick, Chapter 135 "The Chase—Third Day."
In case you guys didn't know, Moby Dick is like my favourite book. So many good quotes. Also you can take said great quote and just like swap out "whale" and all that for really anything you want and you get some great results. Here's an example:
He tasks me; he heaps me; I see in him outrageous[ly bad writing], with an inscrutable malice sinewing it. That inscrutable thing is chiefly what I hate; and be [Twilight] agent, or be [Twilight] principal, I will wreak that hate upon him.
that was a pretty easy target, but I don't want to hurt anybody's feel feels too bad. Comment with your own!!
