More quotes by Joseph Conrad
I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more
Joseph Conrad
Being a lady is a frightfully troublesome assignment, since it comprises mainly in managing men.
Joseph Conrad
It seems to me I am trying to tell you a dream - making a vain attempt, because no relation of a dream can convey the dream-sensation, that commingling of absurdity, surprise, and bewilderment in a tremor of struggling revolt, that notion of being captured by the incredible which is of the very essence of dreams.
Joseph Conrad
The atmosphere of officialdom would kill anything that breathes the air of human endeavour, would extinguish hope and fear alike in the supremacy of paper and ink.
Joseph Conrad
The artist in his calling of interpreter creates because he must. He is so much of a voice that, for him, silence is like death
Joseph Conrad
There is something haunting in the light of the moon it has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery.
Joseph Conrad
The human heart is vast enough to contain all the world.
Joseph Conrad
Analytical philosophy was very interesting. It always struck me as being very interesting and full of tremendous intellectual curiosities. It is wonderful to see the mind at work in such an intense manner, but, for me, it was still too far removed from my own issues.
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
Here's the main page of motivational quotes, if you want a different topic. Gossip is what no one claims to like, but everybody enjoys.
Joseph Conrad
Nowhere else than upon the sea do the days, weeks, and months fall away quicker into the past. They seem to be left astern as easily as the light air-bubbles in the swirls of the ship's wake.
Joseph Conrad
I can't imagine a human being so hard up for something to do as to quarrel with me.
Joseph Conrad
One wonders that there can be found a man courageous enough to occupy the post. It is a matter of meditation. Having given it a few minutes I come to the conclusion in the serenity of my heart and the peace of my conscience that he must be either an extreme megalomaniac or an utterly unconscious being.
Joseph Conrad
She feared the unknown as we all do, and her ignorance made the unknown infinitely vast.
Joseph Conrad
All creative art is magic, is evocation of the unseen in forms persuasive, enlightening, familiar and surprising.
Joseph Conrad
I am afraid that if you want to go down into history you'll have to do something for it.
Joseph Conrad
Truth of a modest sort I can promise you, and also sincerity. That complete, praiseworthy sincerity which, while it delivers one into the hands of one's enemies, is as likely as not to embroil one with one's friends.
Joseph Conrad
Kisses are the remnants of paradise.
Joseph Conrad
They had behind them, to my mind, the terrific suggestiveness of words heard in dreams, of phrases spoken in nightmares.
Joseph Conrad
Perhaps life is just that... a dream and a fear.
Joseph Conrad
