Someone I do not know very well posted this on a board I frequent. He has been an office worker for several years, and just burned out and is going sailing for the next year (he is an experienced sailor, and his office job was writing navigation books).

Anyway, he posted this quote that I thought was worth saving:

Herman Melville
"Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is 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 moral 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 as I can."
