Quotes:

Captain Ahab: I'd strike the sun if it insulted me!

Captain Ahab: And may God hunt us all if we do not hunt Moby Dick to the death!

Captain Ahab: He took my leg. I don't intend to give him my ass.

Seahawk Pilot: Congratulations, you nuked a school of squid.::Captain Ahab: Where there are squid, there are whales.

Dr. Michelle Herman: Why would a whale act like this?::Captain Ahab: Why do babies die in their sleep?

Dr. Michelle Herman: You give this whale too much credit.::Captain Ahab: Oh he's not a whale, he's the devil himself!

Captain Ahab: Have you forgotten what it was like to sit out there on that sea ice and watch your arm go gangrenous while we were waiting to be rescued?::Capt. John 'Boomer' Enderby: I haven't forgotten.::Captain Ahab: The months of surgery, the years of rehabilitation. Wondering why this happened to you. Asking yourself what kind of a God could allow such a thing? And then coming to the conclusion that he was either malicious or indifferent. And then realizing... you dont know which is worse. Such a thing cannot be allowed to live.::Capt. John 'Boomer' Enderby: I think Moby Dick took more from you than from me. Killing him won't bring back my arm and it won't bring back your leg. It won't bring any of it back. But whether you succeed or fail, how many people need to die?::Captain Ahab: All of them. This whole act has been decreed. It was rehearsed by us a billion years before the oceans even rolled. Nothing I can do about it. I am the fates, Lieutenant, and I act under orders.

Dr. Michelle Herman: You know he's completely insane.::Lt. Commander Starbuck: How could anyone endure this and not be?

Captain Ahab: They say a drowning thing will go down and rise up again twice before going down forever. Moby Dick has already been down twice.::Dr. Michelle Herman: So have you.

Captain Ahab: He tasks me! That whale, he tasks me!

Quotes:

Peter Coffin: You a commadore, then, or a cook?::Ishmael: No, a simple sailor, jumping from spar to spar like a grasshopper in a May meadow. Very much like a slave. But who isn't a slave? Tell me that.::Peter Coffin: I suppose you're going whaling, then?::Ishmael: Aye. Would you be having a room for a simple sailor, Mr. Coffin?::Peter Coffin: Aye, if you've no objection to sharing a blanket with a simple harpooner.

Ishmael: It seems a trifle small for two grown men.::Peter Coffin: Well, if you're going to go whaling, you better get used to that sort of thing. Why, look at that bed. It's the biggest bed in the house. I've soundly slept in that bed many a night. Plenty of room!::Ishmael: Mind you, I'm not complaining, Mr. Coffin, it's just I'd like to know what sort of man I'd be sharing it with.::Peter Coffin: Well, uh, the harpooner I may be able to find someplace else for tonight.

Queequeg: I killee!::Peter Coffin: Now, Queequeg, stop that!::Ishmael: Why didn't you tell me that this harpooner I'd be sharing a bed with is a cannibal, for God's sake?::Peter Coffin: Now, listen to me, Queequeg. You savvy me, I savvy you. This lad sleep here in this bed with you. You savvy?::Queequeg: Me savvy plenty.

Ishmael: What the devil's the matter with you?::Queequeg: Ishmael no want go on ship with Queequeg?::Ishmael: No. I mean, yes, of course I do. But you would be better suited to pick out a whaler that's suited for both of us, not I, and I shall certainly not take your money. Queequeg, I fear I must make a confession. I used to be a schoolteacher. Do you know what that is?::Queequeg: Aye. Missionary.::Ishmael: No. Well, not exactly. What I'm trying to say is that I've never jumped a spar in my life.::Queequeg: Ishmael no sailor?::Ishmael: Aye. Me no sailor. It's just that I have this burning desire to go to sea.::Queequeg: Me Ojo savvy. Ishmael pick ship. Ishmael pick ship.

Capt. Peleg: What do you know about whaling?::Ishmael: Nothing, sir. But I want to see what whaling is. I want to see the world.::Capt. Peleg: Can't you see the world from where you stand, young man? You want to see what whaling is, do you? Are you man enough to pitch a harpoon down a live whale's throat and jump after it?::Ishmael: Well, I am, sir, if it be absolutely indispensible that I do so.::Capt. Peleg: I'll tell you this: There's death in this business, young man.

Queequeg: Ishmael, what is soul?::Ishmael: Soul? Well, that's a difficult question. Do you believe in God? Like a big chief over all men?::Queequeg: Like Ojo?::Ishmael: Well, I reckon so, but bigger than that, like a captain of the sun.

Mr. Flask: [pointing to Ishmael and Queequeg] Look at them two lovebirds.

Captain Ahab: Aye, harpoons do like stuck in him like so many corkscrews. Aye, his spout is big, like Nantucket wheat. Aye, by death and devils, the white whale is Moby-Dick, if Moby-Dick you see!::Starbuck: Captain Ahab, was it not Moby-Dick that cut off thy leg?::Captain Ahab: Aye, Mr. Starbuck. Aye, my hearties all. It was Moby-Dick that dismantled me, that reaped off my leg like a mower a blade of grass and left me with this dead stump I stand on. For forever and a day I shall chase that white whale.

Captain Ahab: Why the long face, Mr. Starbuck? Have you no game for Moby-Dick?::Starbuck: Aye, I have game for his crooked jaw. I have game for the jaws of death, if that's part of the business we came for. Sir, I am here to hunt whale, not my commander's vengeance. How many barrels of oil will your vengeance yeild, I ask you?::Captain Ahab: If money be the measure of everything we do, let me tell ye my vengeance will fetch a great premium here!::Starbuck: What do you wish of me, Captain Ahab?::Captain Ahab: Help me to strike a fin. Surely no impossible task for you, the best lancer of all Nantucket. Surely you, of all this crew, will not hold back.

Starbuck: Time and tide flow wide, sir. Moby-Dick has the whole round watery world to swim in.::Captain Ahab: I know his latitudes. I know his driftings, every sea-shelled ground and volcano bay.::Starbuck: Here lies Nantucket, where our wives and children will be waiting, carrying wee babes up the hill to catch first glimpse of these sails. Your wife and son will be among them, captain, and we must not disappoint them. I am no crusader after perils. My course is set to return safely home with a full hold. 'Tis the object of our endeavour.::Captain Ahab: Mr. Starbuck, until this be done, my boy's face is to me as the palm of my hand, an unfeatured blank.

Quotes:

Captain Ahab: Birds... the birds... *He rises*!

Ishmael: [in voice-over narration] Long days and nights we strained at the oars while a white whale swam freely on, widening the waters between himself and Ahab's vengeance.

Starbuck, first mate: To be enraged with a dumb brute that acted out of blind instinct is blasphemous.::Captain Ahab: Speak not to me of blasphemy, man; I'd strike the sun if it insulted me. Look ye, Starbuck, all visible objects are but as pasteboard masks. Some inscrutable yet reasoning thing puts forth the molding of their features. The white whale tasks me; he heaps me. Yet he is but a mask. 'Tis the thing behind the mask I chiefly hate; the malignant thing that has plagued mankind since time began; the thing that maws and mutilates our race, not killing us outright but letting us live on, with half a heart and half a lung.

Ishmael: Ehhhh, you can't fool us; it's the easiest thing in the world for a man to look as if he's got a great secret in him.::Elijah: I have, lad, I have. At sea one day, you'll smell land where there'll be no land, and on that day Ahab will go to his grave, but he'll rise again within the hour. He will rise and beckon. Then all - all save one shall follow. (Slinking away with a smile on his face) Mornin', lads... mornin'. May the heavens bless you.

Captain Ahab: By heavens man, we are turned round and round in this world, like yonder windlass, and fate is the handspike.

Starbuck, first mate: It's late; you should turn in.::Captain Ahab: Sleep? That bed is a coffin, and those are winding sheets. I do not sleep, I die.

Ishmael: [in voice-over narration] He did not feel the wind, or smell the salt air. He only stood, staring at the horizon, with the marks of some inner crucifixion and woe deep in his face.

[first lines]::Ishmael: [voiceover] Call me Ishmael.

Captain Ahab: From hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee. Ye damned whale.

Father Mapple: Delight is to him who coming to day him down can say, "O Father, mortal or immortal, here I die. I have striven to be Thine, more than to be this world's. Yet this is nothing. I leave eternity to Thee. For what is man, that he should live out the lifetime of his God?"

  Bon Iver

  Iʼm tearing up, across your face
  Move dust through the light
  To find your name
  It's only faint
  This is not a place
  Not yet awake, I'm raised to make
  Still alive for you, love
  Still alive for you, love
  Still alive for you, love
  In a matter of a month
  From forests, for the soft
  Gotta know been lead aloft
  So rid of all your stories
  What I know, what it is, is boring – wire it up!
