Quote by Herman Melville

I feel that the Godhead is broken up like the bread at the Supper, and that we are the pieces. Hence this infinite fraternity of feeling.

I feel that the Godhead is broken up like the bread at the S

Summary

In this quote, the speaker suggests that the essence of God, known as the Godhead, is fragmented into individual pieces, much like bread broken during the Last Supper. As a result of this fragmentation, the speaker believes that a profound connection is formed among human beings, described as an "infinite fraternity of feeling." This concept implies that since humans are essentially derived from the same divine source, they share a fundamental bond and interconnectedness, promoting empathy and understanding among individuals.

Sometimes Alton Darwin would talk to me about the planet he was on before he was transported in a steel box to Athena. 'Drugs were food,' he said. 'I was in the food business. Just because people on one planet eat a certain kind of food they're hungry for, that makes them feel better after they eat it, that doesn't mean people on other planets shouldn't eat something else. On some planets I'm sure there are people who eat stones, and then feel wonderful for a little while afterwords. Then it's time to eat stones again.
