Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “The form of act or thought mattered nothing. The hymns of David, the plays of Shakespeare, the metaphysics of Descartes, the crimes of Borgia, the virtues of Antonine, the atheism of yesterday and the materialism of to-day, were all emanation of divine thought, doing their appointed work. It was the duty of the church to deal with them all, not as though they existed through a power hostile to the deity, but as instruments of the deity to work out his unrevealed ends.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    “one loves only form,
    and form only comes
    into existence when
    the thing is born

    born of yourself,”
    —Charles Olson (1910–1970)

    “If it form the one landscape that we the inconstant ones
    Are consistently homesick for, this is chiefly
    Because it dissolves in water.”
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
