Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “Average American’s simplest and commonest form of breakfast consists of coffee and beefsteak.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “Whoever denies that he possesses vanity generally possesses it in so brutal a form that he instinctively shuts his eyes in its presence, so as not to have to look down upon himself.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “The complaint ... about modern steel furniture, modern glass houses, modern red bars and modern streamlined trains and cars is that all these objets modernes, while adequate and amusing in themselves, tend to make the people who use them look dated. It is an honest criticism. The human race has done nothing much about changing its own appearance to conform to the form and texture of its appurtenances.”
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
