“Let me only say that it fared well with him as with the storm-tossed ship the miserably drives along the leeward land. The port would fain give succor; the port is pitiful; in the port is safety, comfort, hearthstone, supper, warm blankets, friends, all that’s kind to our mortalities. But in that gale, the port, the land, is that ship’s direst jeopardy; she must fly all hospitality; one touch of lan, though it but graze the keel, would make her shudder through and through. With all her might she crowds all sanil off shore; in so doing, fight gainst the very winds that fain would blow her homeward; seeks all the lashed sea’s landlessnesss again; for refuge’s sake forlornly rushing into peril; her only friend her bitterest foe!”

–Herman Melville, Moby Dick, or The Whale

“We are not what we might be; what we are / Outlaws all extrapolation / Beyond the interval of now and here: / White whales are gone with the white ocean.”

“If the human mind can understand the universe, it means the human mind is fundamentally of the same order as the divine mind. If the human mind is of the same order as the divine mind, then everything that appeared rational to God as he constructed the universe, it’s “geometry,” can also be made to appear rational to the human understanding, and so if we search and think hard enough, we can find a rational explanation and underpinning for everything. This is the fundamental proposition of science.”

—Robert Zubrin, The Case For Mars
