More quotes by Joseph Conrad
My task, which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel--it is, before all, to make you see.
Joseph Conrad
For all that has been said of the love that certain natures (on shore) have professed for it, for all the celebrations it has been the object of in prose and song, the sea has never been friendly to man. At most it has been the accomplice of human restlessness.
Joseph Conrad
Your strength is just an accident owed to the weakness of others.
Joseph Conrad
Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since it consists principally in dealing with men.
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
A man that is born falls into a dream like a man who falls into the sea.
Joseph Conrad
It is respectable to have no illusions, and safe, and profitable and dull.
Joseph Conrad
Writing in English is like throwing mud at a wall.
Joseph Conrad
Books may be written in all sorts of places. Verbal inspiration may enter the berth of a mariner on board a ship frozen fast in a river in the middle of a town.
Joseph Conrad
Mathematics commands all my respect, but I have no use for engines.
Joseph Conrad
The sea - this truth must be confessed - has no generosity. No display of manly qualities - courage, hardihood, endurance, faithfulness - has ever been known to touch its irresponsible consciousness of power.
Joseph Conrad
For a time I would feel I belonged still to a world of straightforward facts but the feeling would not last long. Something would turn up to scare it away.
Joseph Conrad
This magnificent butterfly finds a little heap of dirt and sits still on it but man will never on his heap of mud keep still.
Joseph Conrad
Necessity, they say, is mother of invention, but fear, too, is not barren of ingenious suggestions.
Joseph Conrad
I let him run on, this papier-maché Mephistopheles, and it seemed to me that if I tried I could poke my forefinger through him, and would find nothing inside but a little loose dirt, maybe.
Joseph Conrad
Let them think what they liked, but I didn't mean to drown myself. I meant to swim till I sank -- but that's not the same thing.
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
Let a fool be made serviceable according to his folly.
Joseph Conrad
I do not know whether I have been a good seaman, but I know I have been a very faithful one.
Joseph Conrad
The question is not how to get cured, but how to live.
Joseph Conrad
