• All art speaks in signs and symbols. No one can explain how it happens that the artist can waken to life in us the existence that he has seen and lives through. No artistic speech is the adequate expression of what it represents; its vital force comes from what is unspoken in it.

• The first thing you notice about New Orleans are the burying grounds - the cemeteries - and they're a cold proposition, one of the best things there are here. Going by, you try to be as quiet as possible, better to let them sleep. Greek, Roman, sepulchres- palatial mausoleums made to order, phantomesque, signs and symbols of hidden decay - ghosts of women and men who have sinned and who've died and are now living in tombs. The past doesn't pass away so quickly here. You could be dead for a long time

• Grandad taught me that the alien signs and symbols of algebraic equations were not just marks on paper. They were not flat. They were three-dimensional, and you could approach them from different directions, look at them from different ways, stand them on their heads. You could take them apart and put them back together in a variety of shapes, like Legos. I stopped being scared of them.

• Así que, cortando las amarras del barril de fósforos a prueba de agua, después de muchos fracasos, Starbuck se las ingenió para encender la lámpara en el farol; luego, tendiéndola en un palo, se la entregó a Queequeg como abanderado de esta esperanza desamparada. Allí estaba sentado, sosteniendo aquella vela imbécil en el corazón de aquel desamparo todopoderoso. Allí, entonces, estaba sentado, el signo y el símbolo de un hombre sin fe, sosteniendo desesperadamente la esperanza en medio de la desesperación.
