Perhaps life is just that... a dream and a fear.

Joseph Conrad

Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put its trust in life.

Joseph Conrad

The scrupulous and the just, the noble, humane, and devoted natures; the unselfish and the intelligent may begin a movement – but it passes away from them. They are not the leaders of a revolution. They are its victims.

Joseph Conrad

You shall judge a man by his foes as well as by his friends.

Joseph Conrad

It is respectable to have no illusions, and safe, and profitable and dull.

Joseph Conrad

The sea has never been friendly to man. At most it has been the accomplice of human restlessness.

Joseph Conrad
