More quotes by Joseph Conrad
Perhaps life is just that... a dream and a fear.
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
I have wrestled with death. It is the most unexciting contest you can imagine.
Joseph Conrad
Things and men have always a certain sense, a certain side by which they must be got hold of if one wants to obtain a solid grasp and a perfect command.
Joseph Conrad
Your strength is just an accident owed to the weakness of others.
Joseph Conrad
They had behind them, to my mind, the terrific suggestiveness of words heard in dreams, of phrases spoken in nightmares.
Joseph Conrad
Everybody had to be thoroughly understood before being accepted.
Joseph Conrad
They talk of a man betraying his country, his friends, his sweetheart. There must be a moral bond first. All a man can betray is his conscience.
Joseph Conrad
The human heart is vast enough to contain all the world.
Joseph Conrad
To have his path made clear for him is the aspiration of every human being in our beclouded and tempestuous existence.
Joseph Conrad
The scrupulous and the just, the noble, humane, and devoted natures the unselfish and the intelligent may begin a movement - but it passes away from them. They are not the leaders of a revolution. They are its victims.
Joseph Conrad
Hang ideas! They are tramps, vagabonds, knocking at the back-door of your mind, each taking a little of your substance, each carrying away some crumb of that belief in a few simple notions you must cling to if you want to live decently and would like to die easy!
Joseph Conrad
Beyond the fence the forest stood up spectrally in the moonlight, and through the dim stir, through the faint sounds of that lamentable courtyard, the silence of the land went home to one's very heart - its mystery, its greatness, the amazing reality of its concealed life.
Joseph Conrad
An artist is a man of action, whether he creates a personality, invents an expedient, or finds the issue of a complicated situation.
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
As a general rule, a reputation is built on manner as much as on achievement.
Joseph Conrad
Sleep after toyle, port after stormie seas, Ease after warre, death after life, does greatly please.
Joseph Conrad
History repeats itself, but the special call of an art which has passed away is never reproduced. It is as utterly gone out of the world as the song of a destroyed wild bird.
Joseph Conrad
Criticism, that fine flower of personal expression in the garden of letters.
Joseph Conrad
I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more
Joseph Conrad
