More quotes by Henry James
If one is strong, one loves the more strongly.
Henry James
The effort really to see and really to represent is no idle business in face of the constant force that makes for muddlement. The great thing is indeed that the muddled state too is one of the very sharpest of the realities, that it also has color and form and character, has often in fact a broad and rich comicality.
Henry James
There are women who are for all your 'times of life.' They're the most wonderful sort.
Henry James
There are moods in which one feels the impulse to enter a tacit protest against too gross an appetite for pure aesthetics in this starving and sinning world. One turns half away, musingly, from certain beautiful useless things.
Henry James
We work in the dark - we do what we can - we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion, and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.
Henry James
God's creature is one. He makes man, not men. His true creature is unitary and infinite, revealing himself, indeed, in every finite form, but compromised by none.
Henry James
England always seems to me like a man swimming with his clothes on his head.
Henry James
Cats and monkeys monkeys and cats all human life is there.
Henry James
The time-honored bread-sauce of the happy ending.
Henry James
London doesn't love the latent or the lurking, has neither time, nor taste, nor sense for anything less discernible than the red flag in front of the steam-roller. It wants cash over the counter and letters ten feet high.
Henry James
It's never permitted to be surprised at the aberrations of born fools.
Henry James
..her smile, which was her pretty feature, was never so pretty as when her sprightly phrase had a scratch lurking in it.
Henry James
Always keep a window in the attic open not just cracked: open.
Henry James
It's a complex fate, being an American, and one of the responsibilities it entails is fighting against a superstitious valuation of Europe.
Henry James
To say that she had a book is to say that her solitude did not press upon her for her love of knowledge had a fertilizing quality and her imagination was strong. There was at this time, however, a want of lightness in her situation, which the arrival of an unexpected visitor did much to dispel.
Henry James
One can't judge till one's forty before that we're too eager, too hard, too cruel, and in addition much too ignorant.
Henry James
The black and merciless things that are behind the great possessions.
Henry James
You are good for nothing unless you are clever.
Henry James
There are two kinds of taste, the taste for emotions of surprise and the taste for emotions of recognition.
Henry James
Her reputation for reading a great deal hung about her like the cloudy envelope of a goddess in an epic.
Henry James
