Exact Shape

Famous quotes containing the words exact and/or shape:

“Danger lies in the writer becoming the victim of his own exaggeration, losing the exact notion of sincerity, and in the end coming to despise truth itself as something too cold, too blunt for his purpose—as, in fact, not good enough for his insistent emotion. From laughter and tears the descent is easy to snivelling and giggles.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

“We cannot and must not get rid of nor deny our characteristics. But we can give them shape and direction.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
