- ... money and wealth. If you look at this quote you could easily erase the part men who have and still come out with the same result, and the same conclusion as Needleman. Karl Marx, the great social commentator, once said of the economic realities, "The first form of the family, was based on economic conditions, on the victory of private property over primitive, natural communal property"2. Again, what Marx is ... possessions that it can run on nothing else? Where is love, is this an antiquated notion only held by such romantic poets such as Lord Byron and Shelly, are their ideals based solely on the "great doubloon" Where does faith fall into this equation? The author would have us believe that everything we do has to be based on money and or it's effects. 95% of the World's population believes in a higher form than humans, it could be said that this is what drives the world, and not the great dollar that so evidently drives most of western culture.

- 2527: Herman Melville: His Life and Works
- ... Hawthorne, to whom he dedicated his masterpiece Moby-Dick; or The White Whale (1851). The central theme of the novel is the conflict between Captain Ahab, master of the whaler Pequod, and Moby-Dick, a great white whale that once tore off one of Ahab's legs at the knee. Ahab is dedicated to revenge; he drives himself and his crew, which includes Ishmael, narrator of the story, over the seas in a desperate search for his enemy. The body of the book is written in a wholly original, powerful narrative style, which, in certain sections of the work, Melville varied with great success.
