Joseph Conrad Quotes

I Take It, No Fool Ever Made A Bargain For His Soul With The Devil; The Fool Is Too Much Of A Fool, Or The Devil Too Much Of A Devil - I Don't Know Which. Or You May Be Such A Thunderingly Exalted Creature As To Be Altogether Deaf And Blind To Anything But Heavenly Sights And Sounds. Then The Earth For You Is Only A Standing Place - And Whether To Be Like This Is Your Loss Or Your Gain I Won't Pretend To Say. But Most Of Us Are Neither One Nor The Other. The Earth For Us Is A Place To Live In, Where We Must Put Up With Sights, With Sounds, With Smells, Too, By Jove! - Breathe Dead Hippo, So To Speak, And Not Be Contaminated.
