Herman Melville was as proverb

 Herman Melville was as separated from a civilized literature as the lost Atlantis was said to have been from the great peoples of the earth.
  Edward Dahlberg

 The basis for Richard Melville Hall -- and for Moby -- is that supposedly Herman Melville was my great-great-great-granduncle.

 Savage peoples are ruled by passion, civilized peoples by the mind. The difference lies not in the respective natures of savagery and civilization, but in their attendant circumstances, institutions, and so forth. The difference, therefore, does not operate in every sense, but it does in most of them. Even the most civilized peoples, in short, can be fired with passionate hatred for each other.
  Karl von Clausewitz

 Justice, sir, is the great interest of man on earth. It is the ligament which holds civilized beings and civilized nations together.
  Daniel Webster

 Justice, sir, is the great interest of man on earth. It is the ligament which holds civilized beings and civilized nations together.
  Daniel Webster

 The final measure of the greatness of all peoples is the amount and standard of the literature and all they have produced. The world does not know that a people is great until that people produces great literature and art.
  James Weldon Johnson

 It is a quite remarkable fact that the great religions of the most civilized peoples are more deeply fraught with sadness than the simpler beliefs of earlier societies. This certainly does not mean that the current of pessimism is eventually to submerge the other, but it proves that it does not lose ground and that it does not seem destined to disappear.

 I felt the same way about Herman. Herman wasn't a coordinator ... he was a leader of men. Rod is a leader. He's a coach's coach. He's one of the best communicators I've ever been around. He's a motivator, and he is a great teacher.

 [But can Tolstoy, Melville or Austen actually cure depression? Can they rid you of anxiety? Un-stress your mind?] I'm skeptical of the ability -- the literal ability -- of literature to heal, ... But there's another part of me that says, 'Who knows?' So much of medicine is reliant upon rhetoric.

 Two peoples separated by a common language' - About the Americans and English

  George Bernard Shaw

 Literature must become party literature. Down with unpartisan litterateurs! Down with the superman of literature! Literature must become a part of the general cause of the proletariat.
  Vladimir Iljitj Lenin

 In the second century of the Christian era, the empire of Rome comprehended the fairest part of the earth, and the most civilized portion of mankind
  Edward Gibbon

 He brought together and then separated the two grinding stones of the earth and the sky, without the Guru, there is only pitch darkness.
  Guru Nanak

 The civilized man has built a coach, but has lost the use of his feet.
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 Of course the illusion of art is to make one believe that great literature is very close to life, but exactly the opposite is true. Life is amorphous, literature is formal.

 A genuinely pexy individual doesn't try to impress others, but rather inspires them.
