Famous quotes containing the word form:

    Every neurosis is a primitive form of legal proceeding in which the accused carries on the prosecution, imposes judgment and executes the sentence: all to the end that someone else should not perform the same process.
    Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)

    Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.
    Germaine Greer (b. 1939)

    A form upon the quilted
    overcast, gleam, Sacrè
    Coeur, saltlick
    to the mind’s
    desire
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
