The Nigger of the Narcissus QUOTES

1 " He seemed to hasten the retreat of departing light by his very presence; the setting sun dipped sharply, as though fleeing before our nigger; a black mist emanated from him; a subtle and dismal influence; a something cold and gloomy that floated out and settled on all the faces like a mourning veil. The circle broke up. The joy of laughter died on stiffened lips. "

― Joseph Conrad , The Nigger of the Narcissus

2 " The man who can't do most things and won't do the rest "

― Joseph Conrad , The Nigger of the Narcissus
