“Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially when my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking peoples hats off- then, I account it high time to get to a bookstore as soon as I can. That is my substitute for the pistol and ball.” ― Herman Melville, Moby-Dick; or, The Whale
