Valued Form

Famous quotes containing the words valued and/or form:

    Had he but spared his tongue and pen
    He might have rose like other men;
    But power was never in his thought,
    And wealth he valued not a groat;
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    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)
