Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “The diary is an art form just as much as the novel or the play. The diary simply requires a greater canvas.”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    “But as to women, who can penetrate
    The real sufferings of their she condition?
    Man’s very sympathy with their estate
    Has much of selfishness and more suspicion.
    Their love, their virtue, beauty, education,
    But form good housekeepers, to breed a nation.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “The philosopher is in advance of his age even in the outward form of his life. He is not fed, sheltered, clothed, warmed, like his contemporaries. How can a man be a philosopher and not maintain his vital heat by better methods than other men?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
