“Hope was all that stood between them and death.”
Nathaniel Philbrick, In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex

“Melville's example demonstrates the wisdom of waiting to read the classics. Coming to a great book on your own after having accumulated essential life experience can make all the difference.”

“The moment any of them gave up on the difficult work of living with their neighbors--and all of the compromise, frustration, and delay that inevitably entailed--they risked losing everything.”
Nathaniel Philbrick, Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, and War
