Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “At daybreak, on the bleak sea-beach,
    A fisherman stood aghast,
    To see the form of a maiden fair,
    Lashed close to a drifting mast.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    “I find in most novels no imagination at all. They seem to think the highest form of the novel is to write about marriage, because that’s the most important thing there is for middle-class people.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

    “There is a sort of veteran women of condition, who, having lived always in the grand mode, and having possibly had some gallantries, together with the experience of five and twenty or thirty years, form a young fellow better than all the rules that can be given him.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
