Re: The Novel Quotes Thread!
All righty, this one should be easy:
"The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much."
Hint: a popular movie was made from this book.

Re: The Novel Quotes Thread!
George was once again on the right track, that quote was from Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness.
Back in a few with a new one.

Re: The Novel Quotes Thread!
Shit yeah, Moby Dick. My head was spinning from the vision of seeing Ricardo Montalban quoting Melville. I knew it, but the conflict of the two images was driving me crazy.
They flutter behind you, your possible pasts.
Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.

Re: The Novel Quotes Thread!
Quote:
A lunatic is easily recognized. He is a moron who doesn't know the ropes. The moron proves his thesis.; he has a logic, however twisted it may be. The lunatic, on the other hand, doesn't concern himself at all with logic; he works by short circuits. For him, everything proves everything else. The lunatic is all idée fixe, and whatever he comes across confirms his lunacy. You can tell him by the liberties he takes with common sense, by his flashes of inspiration, and by the fact that sooner or later, he brings up the Templars.
