Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “For me, as a beginning novelist, all other living writers form a control group for whom the world is a placebo.”
    —Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)

    “I do not mean to imply that the good old days were perfect. But the institutions and structure—the web—of society needed reform, not demolition. To have cut the institutional and community strands without replacing them with new ones proved to be a form of abuse to one generation and to the next. For so many Americans, the tragedy was not in dreaming that life could be better; the tragedy was that the dreaming ended.”
    —Richard Louv (20th century)

    “Be sure that it is not you that is mortal, but only your body. For that man whom your outward form reveals is not yourself; the spirit is the true self, not that physical figure which can be pointed out by your finger.”
    —Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
