Joseph Conrad
" Facing it, always facing it, that's the way to get through. Face it. "

Joseph Conrad
" For the great mass of mankind, the only saving grace needed is a steady fidelity to what is nearest to hand and heart for the short moment of each human effort. "

Joseph Conrad
" Having had to encounter single-handed during his period of eclipse many physical dangers, he was well aware of the most dangerous element common to them all: of the crushing, paralysing sense of human littleness, which is what really defeats a human struggling with natural forces, alone, far from the eyes of his fellows. "

Joseph Conrad
" I can't tell if a straw ever saved a drowning man, but I know that a mere glance is enough to make despair pause. For in truth we who are creatures of impulse are creatures of despair. "

Joseph Conrad
" I take it that what all men are really after is some form or perhaps only some formula of peace. "

Joseph Conrad
" They wanted facts. Facts! They demanded facts from him, as if facts could explain anything. "

Joseph Conrad
" What makes mankind tragic is not that they are the victims of nature, it is that they are conscious of it. "

Joseph Conrad
" Strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others. "

Joseph Conrad
" We live as we dream - alone. "

Joseph Conrad
" 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
" Who could tell what forms, what visions, what faces, what forgiveness he could see in the glow of the west! "
