More quotes by Joseph Conrad
A man is a worker. If he is not that he is nothing.
Joseph Conrad
Art is long and life is short, and success is very far off.
Joseph Conrad
I take it that what all men are really after is some form or perhaps only some formula of peace.
Joseph Conrad
Watching a coast as it slips by the ship is like thinking about an enigma. There it is before you, smiling, frowning, inviting, grand, mean, insipid, or savage, and always mute with an air of whispering, Come and find out.
Joseph Conrad
Violence is not a catalyst but a diversion.
Joseph Conrad
The question is not how to get cured, but how to live.
Joseph Conrad
We looked at the venerable stream not in the vivid flush of a short day that comes and departs forever, but in the august light of abiding memories.
Joseph Conrad
The scrupulous and the just, the noble, humane, and devoted natures the unselfish and the intelligent may begin a movement - but it passes away from them. They are not the leaders of a revolution. They are its victims.
Joseph Conrad
Give me the right word and the right accent and I will move the world.
Joseph Conrad
Youth is insolent it is its right - its necessity it has got to assert itself, and all assertion in this world of doubts is a defiance, is an insolence.
Joseph Conrad
Follow your bliss. Find where it is and don't be afraid to follow it.
Joseph Conrad
the mind of man is capable of anything--because everything is in it, all the past as well as the future
Joseph Conrad
The hair of his face, on the contrary, carroty and flaming, resembled a growth of copper wire clipped short to the line of the lip while, no matter how close he shaved, fiery metallic gleams passed, when he moved his head, over the surface of his cheeks.
Joseph Conrad
It is respectable to have no illusions, and safe, and profitable and dull.
Joseph Conrad
Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life.
Joseph Conrad
I have wrestled with death. It is the most unexciting contest you can imagine.
Joseph Conrad
Do not talk to me of Archimedes' lever. He was an absent-minded person with a mathematical imagination. Mathematics commands my respect, but I have no use for engines. Give me the right word and the right accent and I will move the world.
Joseph Conrad
Every age is fed on illusions, lest men should renounce life early and the human race come to an end.
Joseph Conrad
What is a novel if not a conviction of our fellow men's existence strong enough to take upon itself a form of imagined life clearer than reality and whose accumulated verisimilitude of selected episodes puts to shame the pride of documentary history.
Joseph Conrad
A fool has more ideas than a wise man can foresee.
Joseph Conrad
