"P.S.—That engine! While we’ve got it, and the dynamo, and the storage battery, why not have an ice-machine? Ice in the tropics! It is more necessary than bread. Here goes for the ice-machine!

- The Cruise of the Snark: Chapter 1 — Foreword / I think this weird nonfiction book is my favorite Jack London.
