Forms

Famous quotes containing the word forms:

    A monarchy is the most expensive of all forms of government, the regal state requiring a costly parade, and he who depends on his own power to rule, must strengthen that power by bribing the active and enterprising whom he cannot intimidate.
    James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)

    Two forms move among the dead, high sleep
    Who by his highness quiets them, high peace
    Upon whose shoulders even the heavens rest,
    Two brothers. And a third form, she that says
    Good-by in the darkness, speaking quietly there,
    To those that cannot say good-by themselves.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    There is a continual exchange of ideas between all minds of a generation. Journalists, popular novelists, illustrators, and cartoonists adapt the truths discovered by the powerful intellects for the multitude. It is like a spiritual flood, like a gush that pours into multiple cascades until it forms the great moving sheet of water that stands for the mentality of a period.
    Auguste Rodin (1849–1917)
