― Joseph Conrad, Victory

“Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put it's trust in life!”
― Joseph Conrad, Victory

“The Zangiacomo band was not making music; it was simply murdering silence with a vulgar, ferocious energy.”

“dreams are madness, my dear. It's things that happen in the waking world, while one is asleep, that one would be glad to know the meaning of.”
― Joseph Conrad, Victory
