More quotes by Joseph Conrad
Nations it may be have fashioned their Governments, but the Governments have paid them back in the same coin.
Joseph Conrad
The Nellie, a cruising yawl, swung to her anchor without a flutter of the sails, and was at rest. The flood had made, the wind was nearly calm, and being bound down the river, the only thing for it was to come and wait for the turn of the tide.
Joseph Conrad
There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea.
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
A task, any task, undertaken in an adventurous spirit acquires the merit of romance.
Joseph Conrad
All creative art is magic, is evocation of the unseen in forms persuasive, enlightening, familiar and surprising.
Joseph Conrad
Do not talk to me of Archimedes' lever. He was an absent-minded person with a mathematical imagination. Mathematics commands my respect, but I have no use for engines. Give me the right word and the right accent and I will move the world.
Joseph Conrad
The good author is he who contemplates without marked joy or excessive sorrow the adventures of his soul amongst criticisms.
Joseph Conrad
Criticism, that fine flower of personal expression in the garden of letters.
Joseph Conrad
There is something haunting in the light of the moon.
Joseph Conrad
I can't imagine a human being so hard up for something to do as to quarrel with me.
Joseph Conrad
A man is a worker. If he is not that he is nothing.
Joseph Conrad
You shall judge a man by his foes as well as by his friends.
Joseph Conrad
You know I hate, detest, and can't bear a lie, not because I am straighter than the rest of us, but simply because it appals me. There is a taint of death, a flavour of mortality in lies - which is exactly what I hate and detest in the world - what I want to forget.
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
Sleep after toyle, port after stormie seas, Ease after warre, death after life, does greatly please.
Joseph Conrad
In the time of Spanish rule, and for many years afterwards, the town of Sulaco--the luxuriant beauty of the orange gardens bears witness to its antiquity--had never been commercially anything more important than a coasting port with a fairly large local trade in ox-hides and indigo.
Joseph Conrad
It's only those who do nothing that make no mistakes, I suppose.
Joseph Conrad
Lights of ships moved in the fairway-a great stir of lights going up and going down. And farther west on the upper reaches the place of the monstrous town was still marked ominously on the sky, a brooding gloom in sunshine, a lurid glare under the stars.
Joseph Conrad
Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life.
Joseph Conrad
