Quotes
“What the artist wishes to do — as far as you are concerned — is to take you out of yourself. As far as he is concerned, he wishes to express himself.”
"Literary Portraits. VIII - Mr. Joseph Conrad," in The Tribune 1907-09-14 “Only two classes of books are of universal appeal: the very best and the very worst.”
Joseph Conrad : A Personal Remembrance 1924 “This is the saddest story I have ever heard.”
The Good Soldier, Chapter I “Pride and reserve are not the only things in life; perhaps they are not even the best things. But if they happen to be your particular virtues you will go all to pieces if you let them go.”
The Good Soldier, Chapter I
