Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “The sense of an entailed disadvantage—the deformed foot doubtfully hidden by the shoe, makes a restlessly active spiritual yeast, and easily turns a self-centred, unloving nature into an Ishmaelite. But in the rarer sort, who presently see their own frustrated claim as one among a myriad, the inexorable sorrow takes the form of fellowship and makes the imagination tender.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    “Form and function are a unity, two sides of one coin. In order to enhance function, appropriate form must exist or be created.”
    —Ida P. Rolf (1896–1979)

    “Snobbery? But it’s only a form of despair.”
    —Joseph Brodsky (b. 1940)
