" On its surface immoral rights can still be claimed, men can fight, devour each other, and commit all the earth’s atrocities. But 30 feet below the surface their power ceases, their influence fades, their authority disappears. Ah, sir, live, live in the heart of the sea! Independence is possible only here! Here I recognize no master! Here I am free! "

― Jules Verne , Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
