Famous quotes containing the word form:
“Driving is a spectacular form of amnesia. Everything is to be discovered, everything to be obliterated.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Women stand related to beautiful nature around us, and the enamoured youth mixes their form with moon and stars, with woods and waters, and the pomp of summer. They heal us of awkwardness by their words and looks. We observe their intellectual influence on the most serious student. They refine and clear his mind: teach him to put a pleasing method into what is dry and difficult.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I do not believe in democracy, but I am perfectly willing to admit that it provides the only really amusing form of government ever endured by mankind.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
