Joseph Conrad

“Being a woman is a terribly difficult trade since it consists principally of dealings with men.”

“The question is not how to get cured, but how to live.”

“Who would care to question the ground of forgiveness or compassion?”

“Like a running blaze on a plain, like a flash of lightning in the clouds. We live in the flicker.”

“Nations it may be have fashioned their Governments, but the Governments have paid them back in the same coin.”

“A caricature is putting the face of a joke on the body of a truth.”
