Soys hate Moby-Dick though. They think it's boring and pretentious.

Dunno, anon. It is a book about whale hunting, not everyone is into this shit. Imagine if people made you read Harry Potter or some other shit because it was well written.

I think the beauty of well written literature is that it shows you the specific and allows you to extract the universal.

Match the quotes with the book. No cheating.
1.
>Everybody is identical in their secret unspoken belief that way deep down they are different from everyone else.

2.
>Whenever I saw the sun, I reminded myself that I was looking at a star. One of over a hundred billion in our galaxy. A galaxy that was just one of billions of other galaxies in the observable universe. This helped me keep things in perspective.

3.
>In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love them.... I destroy them.

4.
>I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

5.
>You are not special. You're not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. We're all part of the same compost heap. We're all singing, all dancing crap of the world.

6.
>It strikes me profoundly that the world is more often than not a bad and cruel place.

7.
>I have no objection to any person’s religion, be it what it may, so long as that person does not kill or insult any other person, because that other person don’t believe it also. But when a man’s religion becomes really frantic; when it is a positive torment to him; and, in fine, makes this earth of ours an uncomfortable inn to lodge in; then I think it high time to take that individual aside and argue the point with him.

Yes, I'm a bit into that too. But it takes time, anon. Took me 3 tries to get into "The name of the rose", 4 to get into "Paradise lost", and the list goes on and on. I'm sure that is the case for a lot of people too. Some I even enjoyed but still ended up not finishing.

I should try reading this again. I got through maybe a quarter of it in high school but it was a bit too much for me with the amount of description it has for its content. Didn't have a problem with the movie.
