Nathaniel Philbrick Zitate

For me, 'Moby-Dick' is more than the greatest American novel ever written; it is a metaphysical survival manual - the best guidebook there is for a literate man or woman facing an impenetrable unknown: the future of civilization in this storm-tossed 21st century.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Für mich ist "Moby-Dick" mehr als der größte amerikanische Roman, der jemals geschrieben wurde. Es ist ein metaphysisches Handbuch zum Überleben - der beste Führer, den es für einen gebildeten Mann oder eine leibliche Frau gibt, der vor einem undurchdringlichen Unbekannten steht: Die Zukunft der Zivilisation in diesem stürmischen 21. Jahrhundert.

I probably have more female friends than any man I've ever met. What I like about them is that almost always they're generally mentally tougher, and they're better listeners, and they're more capable of surviving things.
