“We live as we dream--alone....”
— Joseph Conrad“The question is not how to get cured, but how to live.”
— Joseph Conrad“Droll thing life is -- that mysterious arrangement of merciless logic for a futile purpose. The most you can hope from it is some knowledge of yourself -- that comes too late -- a crop of inextinguishable regrets.”
— Joseph Conrad“Like a running blaze on a plain, like a flash of lightning in the clouds. We live in the flicker.”
— Joseph Conrad“All idealisation makes life poorer. To beautify it is to take away its character of complexity — it is to destroy it.”
— Joseph Conrad
