"Here’s food for thought, had Ahab time to think; but Ahab never thinks; he only feels, feels, feels."

  Is that a direct quotation from the novel?

    Yes, it's actually Ahab speaking, lol. He goes on to muse that thinking is probably the exclusive domain of God, since thinking requires "a coolness and a calmness; and our poor hearts throb, and our poor brains beat too much for that." This is the first couple paragraphs of chapter 135, "The Chase. — Third Day".

      The words "chapter 135" fill me with dread.
