Joseph Conrad (1857 - 1924)

Conrad, who chose to write his magnificent books in English rather than his native tongue, was a master of depicting the tension of the individual and nature.  His psychological focus, his temporal unconventionality, and his exploration of Humanity's secret soul is amazing.

BBC: Joseph Conrad

"This is the difference between H.G. Wells and me.  Wells does not love humanity but thinks he can improve it; I love humanity but I know it is unimprovable." - Joseph Conrad, 1923

"Don't talk to me of your Archimedes' lever. He was an absentminded person with a mathematical imagination. Mathematics commands all my respect, but I have no use for engines. Give me the right word and the right accent and I will move the world."

"It is not the clear-sighted who rule the world. Great achievements are accomplished in a blessed, warm fog."
