Joseph Conrad Quotes

We Were Cut Off From The Comprehension Of Our Surroundings; We Glided Past Like Phantoms, Wondering And Secretly Appalled, As Sane Men Would Be Before An Enthusiastic Outbreak In A Madhouse. We Could Not Understand Because We Were Too Far And Could Not Remember Because We Were Travelling In The Night Of First Ages, Of Those Ages That Are Gone, Leaving Hardly A Sign - And No Memories. The Earth Seemed Unearthly. We Are Accustomed To Look Upon The Shackled Form Of A Conquered Monster, But There - There You Could Look At A Thing Monstrous And Free.
