Starbuck

"I see not my reflection in the sea so plainly as I see thee in my heart."

"There is something in that crazedness that is fiery and mighty."

"Art thou not overpowering me, thou monomaniac!"

"O, the green fields ahead, and the mountains of the land!"

"This instant will I discharge my duty!"

"He tasks me with his command, and I should obey, though he commanded me to jump into a burning crater."

"Better shun the world and live alone with honest thoughts than to be surrounded by treacherous schemes."

"The compass of man's true course depends upon the true bearing of the stars."

"Death is but a shadow that passes across the deck at twilight."

"I am bound to that old man by cords woven of my very heartstrings."

"Where can it be that this green barnacled old man has been these three years, and no other tidings of him save by chance report."

"Aye, there is something in thee, some unconquerable wilfulness."

"What is this that we feel in our bones?"

"But thou art my captain and master."

"How can I bear to see thee gone, old man?"

"He is a monomaniac; and, like all monomaniacs, he is subject to certain periodical fits and starts."

"I see, I see! There is a fearful truth there."

"The whale, I see by thy countenance, means something to thee."

"Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home"

"Hark! Do you hear that thunder? That's God laughing at our presumption"

"I am bound to that pagan; and by him to the very axis of this world."

"This is my work now, though I am but sore beset by it."

"The mask! the mask!"

"By the green land; by the bright hearth-stone."

"The helm! the helm! take the helm!"

"The act is immoral; be the agent who he may."

"I am bound to him by cords woven of my very heart-strings"

"The crew has lost their full manhood"

"I will have no man in my boat who is not afraid of a whale"

"What is that unfathomable malice that has rankled in him so!"
