Famous quotes containing the word form:
“Mine eye hath play’d the painter, and hath steel’d
Thy beauty’s form in table of my heart:”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
“At any rate, let us love for a while, for a year or so, you and me. That’s a form of divine drunkenness that we can all try.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
