Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “Our ability to fall in love requires enough comfort with our masculinity to join it with someone’s femininity and feel enhanced. . . . If our mother made us feel secure and proud in our masculinity, then we want to find that again in our wife. If we are really comfortable with our mother, we can even marry a woman who is a friend rather than an adversary, and form a true partnership.”
    —Frank Pittman (20th century)

    “Which form of proverb do you prefer—”Better late than never,” or “Better never than late”?”
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    “It is my contention that civil disobedients are nothing but the latest form of voluntary association, and that they are thus quite in tune with the oldest traditions of the country.”
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
