"I say, we good Presbyterian Christians should be charitable in these things, and not fancy ourselves so vastly superior to other mortals, pagans and what not, because of their half-crazy notions on these subjects... Heaven have Mercy on us all - Presbytarians and Pagans alike - for we are all somehow dreadfully cracked about the head, and sadly need mending."

- Herman Melvill, Moby Dick
