Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “In the name of Hippocrates, doctors have invented the most exquisite form of torture ever known to man: survival.”
    —Luis Buñuel (1900–1983)

    “After all, what is reading but a vice, like drink or venery or any other form of excessive self-indulgence? One reads to tickle and amuse one’s mind; one reads, above all, to prevent oneself thinking.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “His form is fixed in my eyes,
    his touch in my limbs,
    his whispers in my ear,
    and his heart is kept in my heart.
    So what can Fate tear in two?”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
