Moby-Dick; or, The Whale Quotes

There are certain queer times and occasions in this strange mixed affair we call life when a man takes this whole universe for a vast practical joke, though the wit thereof he but dimly discerns, and more than suspects that the joke is at nobody's expense but his own. - Herman Melville (Moby-Dick; or, The Whale Quotes)
