Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “Thought is the seed of action; but action is as much its second form as thought is its first.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Fantasy is a product of thought, Imagination of sensibility. If the thinking, discursive mind turns to speculation, the result is Fantasy; if, however, the sensitive, intuitive mind turns to speculation, the result is Imagination. Fantasy may be visionary, but it is cold and logical. Imagination is sensuous and instinctive. Both have form, but the form of Fantasy is analogous to Exposition, that of Imagination to Narrative.”
    —Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)

    “Touch me not.”
    —Bible: New Testament Jesus, in John, 20:17.

    Spoken to Mary Magdalene, after Jesus has risen from the dead and made himself known to her. The words are best known in the Latin form in which they appear in the Vulgate: Noli me tangere.
