Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “The Republican form of government is the highest form of government; but because of this it requires the highest type of human nature—a type nowhere at present existing.”
    —Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)

    “That’s one thing I like about Hollywood. The writer is there revealed in his ultimate corruption. He asks no praise, because his praise comes to him in the form of a salary check. In Hollywood the average writer is not young, not honest, not brave, and a bit overdressed. But he is darn good company, which book writers as a rule are not. He is better than what he writes. Most book writers are not as good.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    “For me, as a beginning novelist, all other living writers form a control group for whom the world is a placebo.”
    —Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
