Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “The decisions of law courts should never be printed: in the long run, they form a counterauthority to the law.”
    —Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

    “I had very good dentures once. Some magnificent gold work. It’s the only form of jewelry a man can wear that women fully appreciate.”
    —Graham Greene (1904–1991)

    “Reverence is the highest quality of man’s nature; and that individual, or nation, which has it slightly developed, is so far unfortunate. It is a strong spiritual instinct, and seeks to form channels for itself where none exists; thus Americans, in the dearth of other objects to worship, fall to worshipping themselves.”
    —Lydia M. Child (1802–1880)
