Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “Since you saw no form when the LORD spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire, take care and watch yourselves closely, so that you do not act corruptly by making an idol for yourselves, in the form of any figure -the likeness of male or female...”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 4:15,16.

    “In the name of Hippocrates, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival.”
    —Luis Buñuel (1900–1983)

    “I sometimes wonder that we can be so frivolous ... as to attend to the gross but somewhat foreign form of servitude called Negro Slavery, there are so many keen and subtle masters that enslave both north and south. It is hard to have a southern overseer; it is worse to have a northern one; but worst of all when you are the slave-driver of yourself.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
