Quotation from: Elsinore

Written by: Jack London


I was quite wholly of a mind to go down and rout out Captain West to
tell him my decision, when another presented itself: THEN ARE YOU,
THE THINKER AND PHILOSOPHER, THE WORLD-SICK ONE, AFRAID TO GO DOWN,
TO CEASE IN THE DARKNESS? Bah! My own pride in my life-
pridelessness saved Captain West's sleep from interruption. Of
course I would go on with the adventure, if adventure it might be
called, to go sailing around Cape Horn with a shipload of fools and
lunatics--and worse; for I remembered the three Babylonish and
Semitic ones who had aroused Mr. Pike's ire and who had laughed so
terribly and silently.
