Joseph Conrad

To have his path made clear for him is the aspiration of every human being in our beclouded and tempestuous existence.

In order to move others deeply we must deliberately allow ourselves to be carried away beyond the bounds of our normal sensibility.

There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea.

Fear follows crime and is its punishment.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I just had an idea that went right over my head.
