"Some years ago - never mind how long precisely - havin little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore,I thought i would sail a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way i have of driving the spleen,and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a a damp,drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses,and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me,that it requires a strong more principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street,and methodically knocking people´s hats off - then,I account it high time to get to sea as soon an I can."
John Huston and Gregory Peck
