Nathaniel Philbrick Quotes

I’ll watch anything, from action to art films Picture Quote #1

To my mind, an adventure is something a person willingly undertakes Picture Quote #1

I follow the Patriots, but the Steelers were my first and true love. I still have a Terrible Towel Picture Quote #1

Instead of being a page-turner, ‘Moby-Dick’ is a repository of American history and culture and the essentials of Western literature.

As a former English major, I have always been fascinated by the connections between literature and history Picture Quote #1

I consider myself a writer who happens to write about history, rather than a historian. I was an English major in college. What I’ve learned about history is in the field, so to speak. Going into the archives and working with it directly Picture Quote #1

I watch a lot of bad TV. I spend my entire day reading and writing, and after dinner my idea of fun is just to watch a lot of bad TV. That’s how I relax and stay in touch with modern culture Picture Quote #1

Many of us came away from our youth thinking that the story of the Revolution was that the Americans were patriots fighting the oppressive British. It was kind of good versus evil, liberty versus tyranny. When you get into it, you find that it was much more complicated Picture Quote #1

For me, ‘Moby-Dick’ is more than the greatest American novel ever written; it is a metaphysical survival manual - the best guidebook there is for a literate man or woman facing an impenetrable unknown: the future of civilization in this storm-tossed 21st century Picture Quote #1

When I was at Brown, I wanted to write the great American novel, but I was too scared to take a creative course. I signed up for one, got in, and just didn’t have the courage to go. I was a tremendously shy person, almost pathologically shy. The thought of peers critiquing my work - oh, God Picture Quote #1

In all natural disasters through time, man needs to attach meaning to tragedy, no matter how random and inexplicable the event is Picture Quote #1
