Joseph Conrad
Nations it may be have fashioned their Governments, but the Governments have paid them back in the same coin.
Joseph Conrad
The question is not how to get cured, but how to live.
Joseph Conrad

Joseph Conrad

Joseph Conrad
That faculty of beholding at a hint the face of his desire and the shape of his dream, without which the earth would know no lover and no adventurer.
Joseph Conrad
Being a lady is a frightfully troublesome assignment, since it comprises mainly in managing men.
Joseph Conrad
They had behind them, to my mind, the terrific suggestiveness of words heard in dreams, of phrases spoken in nightmares.
Joseph Conrad
Every age is fed on illusions, lest men should renounce life early and the human race come to an end.
Joseph Conrad
He hated all this, and somehow he couldn't get away.
Joseph Conrad
You can't breathe dead hippo waking, sleeping, and eating, and at the same time keep your precarious grip on existence.
Joseph Conrad
I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more
Joseph Conrad
Kisses are the remnants of paradise.
Joseph Conrad
