"There should be hours for necessities, not for delights; times to repair our nature with comforting repose, and not for us to waste these times."

How it is I know not; but there is no place like a bed for confidential disclosures between friends. Man and wife, they say, there open the very bottom of their souls to each other; and some old couples often lie and chat over old times till nearly morning. Thus, then, in our hearts' honeymoon, lay I and Queequeg - a cosy, loving pair.

— Herman Melville
