I love all men who dive with bloodshot eyes.

“I love all men who dive. Any fish can swim near the surface, but it takes a great whale to go down stairs five miles or more; and if he don't attain the bottom, why all the lead in Galena can't fashion the plummet that will. ... -but of the whole corps of thought-divers, that have been diving and coming up again with bloodshot eyes since the world began.”

                           —  Herman Melville
