“Why is almost every robust healthy boy with a robust healthy soul in him, at some time or other crazy to go to sea? Why upon your first voyage as a passenger, did you yourself feel such a mystical vibration, when first told that you and your ship were now out of sight of land? . . . we see ourselves in all rivers and oceans. It is the image of the ungraspable phantom of life; and this is they key to it all.” -Herman Melville, Moby Dick, 1851
“But let me tell you something: it’s not fucking easy, catching a chicken, especially when it’s getting dark and you haven’t slept for twenty-four hours and you’re fucked up on a shitload of booze and coke and you’re wearing a dressing gown and welly-boots.” -Ozzy Osbourne, I Am Ozzy, 2010
