Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “I can’t work without a model. I won’t say I turn my back on nature ruthlessly in order to turn a study into a picture, arranging the colors, enlarging and simplifying; but in the matter of form I am too afraid of departing from the possible and the true.”
    —Vincent Van Gogh (1853–1890)

    “Those who live by the sea can hardly form a single thought of which the sea would not be part.”
    —Hermann Broch (1886–1951)

    “Mistakes are the only universal form of originality.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
