Joseph Conrad
All creative art is magic , is evocation of the unseen in forms persuasive, enlightening, familiar and surprising, for the edification of mankind , pinned down by the conditions of its existence to the earnest consideration of the most insignificant tides of reality .
Joseph Conrad
Writing in English is like throwing mud at a wall.
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
Every age is fed on illusions, lest men should renounce life early and the human race come to an end.
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

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
The very young have, properly speaking, no moments. It is the privilege of early youth to live in advance of its days in all the beautiful continuity of hope which knows no pauses and no introspection.
Joseph Conrad
A writer without interest or sympathy for the foibles of his fellow man is not conceivable as a writer.
Joseph Conrad
Who would care to question the ground of forgiveness or compassion.
Joseph Conrad
It is my belief no man ever understands quite his own artful dodges to escape from the grim shadow of self knowledge.
Joseph Conrad
Perhaps life is just that... a dream and a fear.
Joseph Conrad
