I'll chase him round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the Norway Maelstrom, and round perdition's flames before I give him up.
Kevin Rosero
Quoted in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" (1982), with changes: "I'll chase him 'round the moons of Nibia, and 'round the Antares Maelstrom, and 'round perdition's flames before I give him up!" Ahab's line is also quoted directly in the 1956 and 1998 adaptations of "Moby-Dick," the latter starring Patrick Stewart as Ahab. The first of two mentions of Leviathan in "Paradise Lost": "that sea-beast Leviathan, which God of all his works / Created hugest that swim th’ Océan stream: / Him haply slumb’ring on the Norway foam." In JRR Tolkien's "Silmarillion," Feanor sets out on a hopeless war against evil, declaring, "We will never turn back from pursuit. After Morgoth to the ends of the Earth!"
