Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “Freedom is the essence of this faith. It has for its object simply to make men good and wise. Its institutions then should be as flexible as the wants of men. That form out of which the life and suitableness have departed should be as worthless in its eyes as the dead leaves that are falling around us.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Here the term ‘language-game’ is meant to bring into prominence the fact that the speaking of language is part of an activity, of a form of life.”
    —Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    “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)
