Famous quotes containing the word forms:

    Your body must become familiar with its death—in all its possible forms and degrees—as a self-evident, imminent, and emotionally neutral step on the way towards the goal you have found worthy of your life.
    Dag Hammarskjöld (1905–1961)

    The most passionate, consistent, extreme and implacable enemy of the Enlightenment and ... all forms of rationalism ... was Johann Georg Hamann. His influence, direct and indirect, upon the romantic revolt against universalism and scientific method ... was considerable and perhaps crucial.
    Isaiah Berlin (b. 1909)

    I regret the unhappiness of princes who are slaves to forms and fettered by caution.
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
