Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “The philosopher is in advance of his age even in the outward form of his life. He is not fed, sheltered, clothed, warmed, like his contemporaries. How can a man be a philosopher and not maintain his vital heat by better methods than other men?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The habits of life form the soul, and the soul forms the countenance.”
    —Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “For Mercy has a human heart,
    Pity, a human face;
    And Love, the human form divine,
    And Peace, the human dress.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)
