Valued Form

Famous quotes containing the words valued and/or form:

    Even the hatred
    in a man
    who’s valued for his learning
    is desirable,
    but I’m shamed
    by even love
    in a person
    who’s reviled by others.
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    What is a novel if not a conviction of our fellow-men’s existence strong enough to take upon itself a form of imagined life clearer than reality and whose accumulated verisimilitude of selected episodes puts to shame the pride of documentary history?
    Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
