Joseph Conrad

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

Joseph Conrad
The question is not how to get cured, but how to live.
Joseph Conrad

Joseph Conrad

Joseph Conrad
Your strength is just an accident owed to the weakness of others.
Joseph Conrad

Joseph Conrad
His very existence was improbable, inexplicable, and altogether bewildering. He was an insoluble problem. It was inconceivable how he had existed, how he had succeeded in getting so far, how he had managed to remain -- why he did not instantly disappear.
Joseph Conrad
Happiness, happiness ... the flavor is with you-with you alone, and you can make it as intoxicating as you please.
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
I saw him open his mouth wide. . . as though he had wanted to swallow all the air, all the earth, all the men before him.
Joseph Conrad
A writing may be lost a lie may be written but what the eye has seen is truth and remains in the mind!
Joseph Conrad
