So, when on one side you hoist in Locke's head, you go over that way; but now, on the other side, hoist in Kant's and you come back again; but in very poor plight. Thus, some minds for ever keep trimming boat. Oh, ye foolish! throw all these thunder-heads overboard, and then you will float light and right. ✨ Herman Melville, Harrison Hayford, G. Thomas Tanselle, Hershel Parker (1988). Moby Dick, Or The Whale: Volume 6, Scholarly Edition, p.327, Northwestern University Press
