I wanted to make connections between Whale's past and present.
There's no question that Whale's movies are classics. They were wonderful, and successful.
We knew that there was a certain kind of interest in Whale among a genre crowd.
Aye, aye! and I'll chase him round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the Norway Maelstrom, and round perdition's flames before I give him up.
It is upon record, that three centuries ago the tongue of the Right Whale was esteemed a great delicacy in France, and commanded large prices there.
The fact is, that among his hunters at least, the whale would by all hands be considered a noble dish, were there not so much of him; but when you come to sit down before a meat-pie nearly one hundred feet long, it takes away your appetite.
Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale... from hell's heart I stab at thee.
It is only when caught in the swift, sudden turn of death, that mortals realise the silent, subtle, ever-present perils of life.
Dream tonight of peacock tails, Diamond fields and spouter whales. Ills are many, blessing few, But dreams tonight will shelter you.
Lovely Arra Sails, nectar to all males, how I'd like to spear you like a whaler spears a whale!
