Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “At any rate, let us love for a while, for a year or so, you and me. That’s a form of divine drunkenness that we can all try.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “It is my contention that civil disobedients are nothing but the latest form of voluntary association, and that they are thus quite in tune with the oldest traditions of the country.”
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    “Thir dread commander: he above the rest
    In shape and gesture proudly eminent
    Stood like a Towr; his form had yet not lost
    All her Original brightness, nor appear’d
    Less than Arch Angel ruind, and th’ excess
    Of Glory obscur’d: As when the Sun new ris’n
    Looks through the Horizontal misty Air
    Shorn of his Beams, or from behind the Moon
    In dim Eclips disastrous twilight sheds
    On half the Nations, and with fear of change
    Perplexes Monarchs.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
