He who wants to persuade should put his trust not in the right argument, but in the right word. The power of sound has always been greater than the power of sense (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
History repeats itself, but the special call of an art which has passed away is never reproduced. It is as utterly gone out of the world as the song of a destroyed wild bird (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
I take it that what all men are really after is some form or perhaps only some formula of peace (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
Only in men's imagination does every truth find an effective and undeniable existence. Imagination, not invention, is the supreme master of art as of life (Joseph Conrad Quotes)

To a teacher of languages there comes a time when the world is but a place of many words and man appears a mere talking animal not much more wonderful than a parrot (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
A man that is born falls into a dream like a man who falls into the sea (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
My task is to make you hear, feel and see. That and no more, and that is everything (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
The atmosphere of officialdom would kill anything that breathes the air of human endeavour, would extinguish hope and fear alike in the supremacy of paper and ink (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
It would take too long to explain the intimate alliance of contradictions in human nature which makes love itself wear at times the desperate shape of betrayal. And perhaps there is no possible explanation (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
The humblest craft that floats makes its appeal to a seaman by the faithfulness of her life (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
The ethical view of the universe involves us in so many cruel and absurd contradictions that I have come to suspect that the aim of creation cannot be ethical at all (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
For a moment I had a view of a world that seemed to wear a vast and dismal aspect of disorder, while, in truth, thanks to our unwearied efforts, it is as sunny an arrangement of small conveniences as the mind of man can conceive (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
It’s extraordinary how we go through life with eyes half shut, with dull ears, with dormant thoughts. Perhaps it’s just as well; and it may be that it is this very dullness that makes life to the incalculable majority so supportable and so welcome (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
The conquest of the earth... is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much. What redeems it is the idea only... not a sentimental pretence but an idea (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
A man that is born falls into a dream like a man who falls into the sea. If he tries to climb out into the air as inexperienced people endeavor to do, he drowns (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
A modern fleet of ships does not so much make use of the sea as exploit a highway (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
A word carries far, very far, deals destruction through time as the bullets go flying through space (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
An artist is a man of action, whether he creates a personality, invents an expedient, or finds the issue of a complicated situation (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
As in political so in literary action a man wins friends for himself mostly by the passion of his prejudices and the consistent narrowness of his outlook (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
How does one kill fear, I wonder? How do you shoot a specter through the heart, slash off its spectral head, take it by its spectral throat? (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
In order to move others deeply we must deliberately allow ourselves to be carried away beyond the bounds of our normal sensibility (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
It is to be remarked that a good many people are born curiously unfitted for the fate waiting them on this earth (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
The sea has never been friendly to man. At most it has been the accomplice of human restlessness (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
They talk of a man betraying his country, his friends, his sweetheart. There must be a moral bond first. All a man can betray is his conscience (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
This magnificent butterfly finds a little heap of dirt and sits still on it; but man will never on his heap of mud keep still (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
Truth of a modest sort I can promise you, and also sincerity. That complete, praiseworthy sincerity which, while it delivers one into the hands of one’s enemies, is as likely as not to embroil one with one’s friends (Joseph Conrad Quotes)
