Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “Falsehood is invariably the child of fear in one form or another.”
    —Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

    “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)

    “Quite generally, the familiar, just because it is familiar, is not cognitively understood. The commonest way in which we deceive either ourselves or others about understanding is by assuming something as familiar, and accepting it on that account; with all its pros and cons, such knowing never gets anywhere, and it knows not why.... The analysis of an idea, as it used to be carried out, was, in fact, nothing else than ridding it of the form in which it had become familiar.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
