A Personal Record (Classic Reprint)

Joseph Conrad

4.9/5 (32592 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from A Personal Record As a general rule we do not want much encouragement to talk about ourselves; yet this little book is the result of a friendly suggestion, and even of a little friendly pressure. I defended myself with some spirit; but, with characteristic tenacity, the friendly voice insisted, "You know, you really must." It was not an argument, but I submitted at once. If one must! ... You perceive the force of a word. 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. I don't say his by way of disparagement. It is better for mankind to be impressionable than reflective. Nothing humanely great - great, I mean, as affecting a whole mass of lives - has come from reflection. On the other hand, you cannot fail to see the power of mere words; such words as Glory, for instance, or Pity. I won't mention any more.
