He who wants to persuade should put his trust not in the right argument, but in the right word. The power of sound has always been greater than the power of sense.   Conrad, Joseph

A bit about Conrad, Joseph ...

Joseph Conrad (December 3, 1857 August 3, 1924) was a Polish-born British novelist. Some of his works have been labelled romantic, although Conrad's romanticism is tempered with irony and a fine sense of man's capacity for self-deception. Many critics have placed him as a forerunner of modernism. His most famous work is in fact that of "Heart of Darkness," which is a fine piece of literature still studied today in most modern senior high schools.
