Herman Melville Quotes

It is not seldom the case that when a man is browbeaten in some unprecedented and violently unreasonable way, he begins to stagger in hisown plainest faith. He begins, as it were, vaguely to surmise that, wonderfulas it may be, all the justice and all the reason is on the other side. Accordingly, if any disinterested persons are present, he turns to themfor some reinforcement for his own faltering mind.

Herman Melville
