Pluralism lets things really exist in the each-form or distributively. [[w:Monism]|] thinks that the all-form or collective-unit form is the only form that is rational.

Although usury is itself a form of credit in its bourgeoisified form, the form adapted to capital, in its pre-bourgeois form it is rather the expression of the lack of credit.

 
Karl Marx
 

We perceive nature through the senses, which give us images of forms of colour, sounds etc. A form which exists only in relation to another form on its own, it does not exist.

 
Edouard Vuillard
 

In every remodelling of the present, the existing condition of things must be supplanted by a new one. Now every variety of circumstances in which men find themselves, every object which surrounds them, communicates a definite form and impress to their internal nature. This form is not such that it can change and adapt itself to any other a man may choose to receive; and the end is foiled, while the power is destroyed, when we attempt to impose upon that which is already stamped in the soul a form which disagrees with it.

 
Wilhelm von Humboldt
 

This is a human form in which every Divine entity, every Divine principle, that is to say, all the names and forms ascribed by man to God, are manifest... You are very fortunate that you have the chance to experiences the bliss of the vision of the form, which is the form of all gods, now, in this life itself.

 
Sathya Sai Baba
 

For me, a form is never something abstract; it is always...a man...a bird...or something else. For me form is never for form's sake.

 
Joan Miro
