Tags: God Quotes

Captain Ahab:
Where was he, Captain? Not dead, was he? Not killed?
Capt. Gardiner:
My boy! I lost a whale boat! My own son was on that boat! For God's sake, help me find him!
Captain Ahab:
No ... no ... do not ask me.
Capt. Gardiner:
I know you, Ahab! You must help me! Let me charter your ship, sir, and I'll pay you handsomely! You must! You must and you shall do this for me, Ahab.
Captain Ahab:
The whale, Captain Gardiner! Where was he when you last laid eyes on him?
Capt. Gardiner:
I'll not go till you say aye to me, Ahab. I know you have a child of your own, safe in Nantucket.

Captain Ahab:
So you crossed his wake again?
Capt. Boomer:
Aye. Twice.
Captain Ahab:
But you could not fast him?
Capt. Boomer:
Why would I want him? Isn't one limb enough? My wants a profitable home. No thank you, sir. No more white whales for me. He's best left alone.
Captain Ahab:
Aye, but he'll be hunted nonetheless! What's best left alone, Captain, isn't always least to fight. When did you last see him?
Capt. Boomer:
Upon my soul, sir, your blood's at boiling point!
Captain Ahab:
Which way was he headed?
Capt. Boomer:
Good God! East, I think!
Captain Ahab:
East! Mr. Starbuck, prepare to set sail! We've wasted enough to time. Good day to you, Captain!
Capt. Boomer:
What the devil is wrong with him? Has he lost his senses?
Starbuck:
My apologies, Captain Boomer. No offense meant, I'm sure, sir. 'Tis the pain in his stump.
Capt. Boomer:
The man's mad!

Starbuck:
'Tis madness to be such enraged. To seek vengeance on a dumb animal is blasphemous!

Captain Ahab:
Why the long face, Mr. Starbuck? Have you no game for Moby-Dick?
Starbuck:
Aye, I have game for his crooked jaw. I have game for the jaws of death, if that's part of the business we came for. Sir, I am here to hunt whale, not my commander's vengeance. How many barrels of oil will your vengeance yeild, I ask you?
Captain Ahab:
If money be the measure of everything we do, let me tell ye my vengeance will fetch a great premium here!
Starbuck:
What do you wish of me, Captain Ahab?
Captain Ahab:
Help me to strike a fin. Surely no impossible task for you, the best lancer of all Nantucket. Surely you, of all this crew, will not hold back.

Capt. Peleg:
What do you know about whaling?
Ishmael:
Nothing, sir. But I want to see what whaling is. I want to see the world.
Capt. Peleg:
Can't you see the world from where you stand, young man? You want to see what whaling is, do you? Are you man enough to pitch a harpoon down a live whale's throat and jump after it?
Ishmael:
Well, I am, sir, if it be absolutely indispensible that I do so.
Capt. Peleg:
I'll tell you this: There's death in this business, young man.

I killee!
Peter Coffin:
Now, Queequeg, stop that!
Ishmael:
Why didn't you tell me that this harpooner I'd be sharing a bed with is a cannibal, for God's sake?
Peter Coffin:
Now, listen to me, Queequeg. You savvy me, I savvy you. This lad sleep here in this bed with you. You savvy?
Queequeg:
Me savvy plenty.

Peter Coffin:
You a commadore, then, or a cook?
Ishmael:
No, a simple sailor, jumping from spar to spar like a grasshopper in a May meadow. Very much like a slave. But who isn't a slave? Tell me that.
Peter Coffin:
I suppose you're going whaling, then?
Ishmael:
Aye. Would you be having a room for a simple sailor, Mr. Coffin?
Peter Coffin:
Aye, if you've no objection to sharing a blanket with a simple harpooner.
