More quotes by Henry James
I hold any writer sufficiently justified who is himself in love with his theme.
Henry James
You wanted to look at life for yourself - but you were not allowed you were punished for your wish. You were ground in the very mill of the conventional.
Henry James
Everything about Florence seems to be colored with a mild violet, like diluted wine.
Henry James
I am incapable of telling you not to feel. Feel, feel, I say - feel for all you're worth, and even if it half kills you, for that is the only way to live.
Henry James
Under certain circumstances there are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.
Henry James
It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance, for our consideration and application of these things, and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.
Henry James
Ideas are, in truth, forces. Infinite, too, is the power of personality. A union of the two always makes history.
Henry James
A swift carriage, of a dark night, rattling with four horses over roads that one can’t see--that’s my idea of happiness.
Henry James
Money's a horrid thing to follow, but a charming thing to meet.
Henry James
Her imagination was by habit ridiculously active when the door was not open it jumped out the window.
Henry James
The story had held us, round the fire, sufficiently breathless, but except the obvious remark that it was gruesome, as, on Christmas Eve in an old house, a strange tale should essentially be . . .
Henry James
If you haven't had your life what have you had?
Henry James
Innocent and infinite are the pleasures of observation.
Henry James
I mean that everything this afternoon has been too beautiful, and that perhaps everything together will never be so right again. I'm very glad therefore you've been a part of it.
Henry James
England always seems to me like a man swimming with his clothes on his head.
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
Her memory's your love. You want no other.
Henry James
The historian, essentially, wants more documents than he can really use the dramatist only wants more liberties than he can really take.
Henry James
Art is a point of view, and a genius way of looking at things.
Henry James
Cats and monkeys monkeys and cats all human life is there.
Henry James
