"I am bound to that white whale by cords woven of my very life-line. I am bound to him; I will chase him round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the mast of the Icy Glen, and round the world's end, and still chase him into Hell."
"I try all things, I achieve what I can; therefore I am content."
"This is my living arm, and this is my living self."
"Aye, aye! and I'll chase him round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the Cape of Good Hope, and round by the Norway Maelstrom, and round by the mouth of the Bellstraight, and round by the instant Pole, and round and round the world, and still chase him."
"Madness! To be enraged with a dumb thing that kicked me with all the cruel violence of a horse!"
