Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “This conflict between the powers of love and chastity ... it ended apparently in the triumph of chastity. Love was suppressed, held in darkness and chains, by fear, conventionality, aversion, or a tremulous yearning to be pure.... But this triumph of chastity was only an apparent, a pyrrhic victory. It would break through the ban of chastity, it would emerge—if in a form so altered as to be unrecognizable.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    “The most brutal, ugly, desperate, vicious form of expression it has been my misfortune to hear.”
    —Frank Sinatra (b. 1915)

    “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)
