More quotes by Joseph Conrad
There is something haunting in the light of the moon.
Joseph Conrad
I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more
Joseph Conrad
There is a taint of death, a flavour of mortality in lies.
Joseph Conrad
Everything belonged to him. It made me hold my breath in expectation of hearing the wilderness burst into prodigious peal of laughter that would shake the fixed stars in their places.
Joseph Conrad
It is not Justice the servant of men, but accident, hazard, Fortune-the ally of patient Time-that holds an even and scrupulous balance.
Joseph Conrad
I like what is in the work -- the chance to find yourself.
Joseph Conrad
It would take too long to explain the intimate alliance of contradictions in human nature which makes love itself wear at times the desperate shape of betrayal. And perhaps there is no possible explanation.
Joseph Conrad

Joseph Conrad

Joseph Conrad

Joseph Conrad
As to honor - you know - it's a very fine mediaeval inheritance which women never got hold of. It wasn't theirs.
Joseph Conrad
Violence is not a catalyst but a diversion.
Joseph Conrad
Any work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line.
Joseph Conrad
It’s extraordinary how we go through life with eyes half shut, with dull ears, with dormant thoughts. Perhaps it’s just as well and it may be that it is this very dullness that makes life to the incalculable majority so supportable and so welcome.
Joseph Conrad
Who would care to question the ground of forgiveness or compassion.
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
Your strength is just an accident owed to the weakness of others.
Joseph Conrad
