Description: Joseph Conrad quote: “It's only those who do nothing that make no mistakes, I suppose.”

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: “Perhaps life is just that... a dream and fear.”

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: Facing it — always facing it — that's the way to get through.

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: In plucking the fruit of memory one runs the risk of spoiling its bloom.

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: Egoism, which is the moving force of the world, and altruism, which is its morality, these two contradictory instincts, of which one is so plain and the other so mysterious, cannot serve us unless in the incomprehensible alliance of their irreconcilable antagonism.

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: Being a woman is a terribly difficult trade since it consists principally of dealings with men.

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: What makes mankind tragic is not that they are the victims of nature, it is that they are conscious of it.

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: The future is of our own making — and (for me) the most striking characteristic of the century is just that development, that maturing of our consciousness which should open our eyes to that truth.

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one’s existence—that which makes its truth, its meaning—its subtle and penetrating essence. It is impossible. We live, as we dream—alone....”

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: Every age is fed on illusions, lest men should renounce life early and the human race come to an end.

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: A belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: Who knows what true loneliness is—not the conventional word, but the naked terror? To the lonely themselves it wears a mask. The most miserable outcast hugs some memory or some illusion.

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: It is to be remarked that a good many people are born curiously unfitted for the fate awaiting them on this earth.

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: A nickname may be the best record of a success. That’s what I call putting the face of a joke upon the body of a truth.

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: Words, as is well known, are the great foes of reality. I have been for many years a teacher of languages. It is an occupation which at length becomes fatal to whatever share of imagination, observation, and insight an ordinary person may be heir to. To a teacher of languages there comes a time when the world is but a place of many words and man appears a mere talking animal not much more wonderful than a parrot.

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: I remember my youth and the feeling that will never come back any more—the feeling that I could last for ever, outlast the sea, the earth, and all men; the deceitful feeling that lures us on to joys, to perils, to love, to vain effort—to death; the triumphant conviction of strength, the heat of life in the handful of dust, the glow in the heart that with every year grows dim, grows cold, grows small, and expires—and expires, too soon—before life itself.

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: “To see! to see!—this is the craving of the sailor, as of the rest of blind humanity. To have his path made clear for him is the aspiration of every human being in our beclouded and tempestuous existence.”

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: Being myself a quiet individual I take it that what all men are really after is some form or perhaps only some formula of peace.

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: t is not the clear-sighted who lead the world. Great achievements are accomplished in a blessed, warm mental fog.

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: Only a moment; a moment of strength, of romance, of glamour—of youth!... A flick of sunshine upon a strange shore, the time to remember, the time for a sigh, and—good-bye!—Night—Good-bye...!

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: Efficiency of a practically flawless kind may be reached naturally in the struggle for bread. But there is something beyond—a higher point, a subtle and unmistakable touch of love and pride beyond mere skill; almost an inspiration which gives to all work that finish which is almost art—which is art.

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: The sea—this truth must be confessed—has no generosity. No display of manly qualities—courage, hardihood, endurance, faithfulness—has ever been known to touch its irresponsible consciousness of power.

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: They talk of a man betraying his country, his friends, his sweetheart. There must be a moral bond first. All a man can betray is his conscience.

Description: Joseph Conrad quote: An artist is a man of action, whether he creates a personality, invents an expedient, or finds the issue of a complicated situation.

Description: You read the book, now wear the Tshirt. Come aboard, sailor and sail the black waters of existential dread.

Description: Nostromo (worn) [Roufxis-TP]

Description: Many critics have raised questions about the interpretation of this phrase. Generally, it implies the horror Kurtz witnesses in Africa, though the horror could be the exploitation of Africa, evil practices of humans, his crumbling sanity, or an illusion of understanding and hope. Simply, it conveys what the West did during colonization in the name of progress, and under the guise of civilizing the natives. Darkness prevails when he dies, symbolizing that his actions were evil. Thus, it is Kurtz’s realization of the bitter and absolute truth of his life.

Description: As confirmed by director Fede Alvarez, the Space Station from Alien Romulus is called Renaissance, not Romulus as it had been rumored. The Weyland-Yutani station is divided into two sections - a lab called Romulus, and an older part named Remus, which is partly abandoned. The Renaissance Station is a Weyland-Yutani-owned space station in an unknown region of space, orbiting a planet with a ring system. The station is circular and rotates around its axis, possibly helping it maintain gravity and a stable orbit. The Renaissance Station is divided into two sections - Romulus and Remus, named after the twin brothers from Roman mythology, who were nurtured by a she-wolf and later founded the city of Rome.

Description: The main ship from Alien Romulus is not called Romulus, deviating from the convention set up by Prometheus and Alien Covenant. The ship is named Corbelan IV, while Romulus is the biolab part of a space station designated as Renaissance. While the movie takes place in the year 2142 (between Alien and Aliens), the ship is more modern the USCSS Nostromo from 2122, but obviously less advanced than the warship USS Sulaco from the year 2179. The ship's name "Corbelan IV" is seen on the starboard side of the ship's bow, written in white paint. In addition to "IV", there is a "04" next to it, indicating a fourth ship in the same series. As with many other ships in the Alien series, the name "Corbelan" is taken from one of Joseph Conrad's novels
