Famous quotes by Herman Melville:

"To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be written on the flea, though many there be that have tried it."

"Art is the objectification of feeling."

"It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation."

"Is there some principal of nature which states that we never know the quality of what we have until it is gone?"

"Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight is said to be the only truth"

"Who in the rainbow can draw the line where the violet tint ends and the orange tint begins? Distinctly we see the difference of the colors, but where exactly does the one first blendingly enter into the other? So with sanity and insanity."

"Let us speak, though we show all our faults and weaknesses, -for it is a sign of strength to be weak, to know it, and out with it - not in a set way and ostentatiously, though, but incidentally and without premeditation."

"Hope is the struggle of the soul, breaking loose from what is perishable, and attesting her eternity"

"To the last, I grapple with thee; From Hell's heart, I stab at thee; For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee"

"We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects."

"We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men."

"There is one knows not what sweet mystery about this sea, whose gently awful stirrings seem to speak of some hidden soul beneath."

"Truth is the silliest thing under the sun. Try to get a living by the Truth and go to the Soup Societies. Heavens! Let any clergyman try to preach the Truth from its very stronghold, the pulpit, and they would ride him out of his church on his own pulpit bannister."

"Yet habit - strange thing! what cannot habit accomplish?"

"They talk of the dignity of work. The dignity is in leisure."

"He who has never failed somewhere, that man can not be great."

"Toil is man's allotment; toil of brain, or toil of hands, or a grief that's more than either, the grief and sin of idleness."

"Better sleep with a sober cannibal than a drunken Christian."

"Better to sleep with a sober cannibal than a drunken Christian."

"To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living."
