Herman Melville
  • Old age is always wakeful as if, the longer linked with life, the less man has to do with aught that looks like death.

  • Art is the objectification of feeling.

  • To know how to grow old is the master work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living.

  • Old age is always wakeful as if, the longer linked with life, the less man has to do with aught that looks like death.

  • Faith, like a jackal, feeds among the tombs, and even from these dead doubts she gathers her most vital hope.
