Additional quotes by Joseph Conrad

As a general rule, a reputation is built on manner as much as on achievement.

Who knows what true happiness is, not the conventional word.. but the naked terror. To the lonely themselves, that wears a mask, the most miserable outcast hugs some memory.. or some illusion.

How does one kill fear, I wonder? How do you shoot a spectre through the heart, slash off its spectral head, take it by its spectral throat?

A writing may be lost; a lie may be written; but what the eye has seen is truth and remains in the mind! - Joseph Conrad
