Additional quotes by Herman Melville

واضطجعت القوارب الثلاثة هنالك في رفق على سطح الماء المتدحرج وهي تحدق في الظهيرة الأبدية الزرقاء، ولم تنبعث من أعماق الزرقة أنّة أو صيحة ما، لا ولم تنطلق اهتزازة أو نفاخة ماء، فلو أن أحد أبناء البر شهد هذا المشهد أكان يخطر له أن أشد الحيوانات البحرية وحشية يتلوّى ويتعقص بالعذاب المبرح تحت ظاهر ذلك الصمت وتلك السكينة المطمئنة؟

It is better to fail in originality, than to succeed in imitation. He who has never failed somewhere, that man can not be great. Failure is the true test of greatness. And if it be said, that continual success is a proof that a man wisely knows his powers, — it is only to be added, that, in that case, he knows them to be small. Let us believe it, then, once for all, that there is no hope for us in these smooth pleasing writers that know their powers.
