Joseph Conrad
There is no credulity so eager and blind as the credulity of covetousness, which, in its universal extent, measures the moral misery and the intellectual destitution of mankind.
Joseph Conrad

Joseph Conrad
... it was written I should be loyal to the nightmare of my choice.
Joseph Conrad
