Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “History can predict nothing except that great changes in human relationships will never come about in the form in which they have been anticipated.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)

    “That is what the highest criticism really is, the record of one’s own soul. It is more fascinating than history, as it is concerned simply with oneself. It is more delightful than philosophy, as its subject is concrete and not abstract, real and not vague. It is the only civilised form of autobiography.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “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)
