Herman Melville Quotes

Here I Am, Proud As Greek God, And Yet Standing Debtor To This Blockhead For A Bone To Stand On! Cursed Be That Mortal Inter-indebtedness Which Will Not Do Away With Ledgers. I Would Be Free As Air; And I'm Down In The Whole World's Books. I Am So Rich, I Could Have Given Bid For Bid With The Wealthiest Praetorians At The Auction Of The Roman Empire (which Was The World's); And Yet I Owe For The Flesh In The Tongue I Brag With. By Heavens! I'll Get A Crucible, And Into It, And Dissolve Myself Down To One Small, Compendious Vertebra.
