Captain Ahab

"Ye are not other men, but my arms and my legs"

"I am the Резидент of this vessel; the whole ship is my world"

"The prophecy was that I, Ahab, should be dismembered"

"Toward thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale"

"The final equinox is come; the second sun stands in mid heaven; my soul mounts with it"

"Is Ahab, Ahab? Is it I, God, or who, that lifts this arm?"

"This is my substitute for pistol and ball."

"I am bound to that whale by cords woven of my very life-line."

"I'd strike the sun if it insulted me."

"What is it that nameless, inscrutable, unearthly thing is it; what cozening, hidden lord and master, and cruel, remorseless emperor commands me?"

"From hell's heart, I stab at thee."

"Methinks that what they call my shadow here on earth is my true substance."

"Lo! ye believers in gods all goodness, and in man all light and spite!"

"He tasks me; he heaps me; I see in him outrageous strength, with an inscrutable malice sinewing it."

"I try all things, I achieve what I can."

"To be enraged with you for sailing in an uneasy ship."

"The path to my fixed purpose is laid with iron rails."

"Vengeance on a dumb brute!"

"This whole act is immutably decreed."

"He tasks me; he heaps me; I see in him outrageous strength."

"I am bound to that whale by an arc as essential as the crooked keel of my ship."

"Ego non baptizo te in nomine patris."

"All that most maddens and torments."

"I am the Fates' lieutenant; I act under orders."

"A dead whale or a stove boat!"

"This whale of mine is not a dumb brute to be slain."

"What is this that is in me that stands over the billows of my whole head?"

"I see, I see with my soul."

"To strike at the sun if it insulted me."

"Would now the wind but had a body; but all the things that most exasperate and torment man."
