Of course what he most intens...

Of course what he most intensely dreams of is being taken out on walks, and the more you are able to indulge him the more will he adore you and the more all the latent beauty of his nature will come out.

Henry James 312 quotes

The power to guess the unseen...

The power to guess the unseen from the seen, to trace the implications of things, to judge the whole piece by the pattern . . . this cluster of gifts may almost be said to constitute experience.

Henry James 312 quotes

Life is, in fact, a battle. E...

Life is, in fact, a battle. Evil is insolent and strong; beauty enchanting, but rare; goodness very apt to be weak; folly very apt to be defiant; wickedness to carry the day; imbeciles to be in great places, people of sense in small, and mankind generally unhappy. But the world as it stands is no narrow illusion, no phantasm, no evil dream of the night; we wake up to it, forever and ever; and we can neither forget it nor deny it nor dispense with it.

Henry James 312 quotes

Make the short story tremendo...

Make the short story tremendously succinct - with a very short pulse or rhythm - and the closest selection of detail - in other words summarise intensely and deeply and keep down the lateral development. It should be a little gem of bright, quick, vivid form

Henry James 312 quotes

I am incapable of telling you...

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 312 quotes

One can't judge till one's fo...

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 312 quotes

I take up my own pen again - ...

I take up my own pen again - the pen of all my old unforgettable efforts and sacred struggles. To myself - today - I need say no more. Large and full and high the future still opens. It is now indeed that I may do the work of my life. And I will.

Henry James 312 quotes

The visible world is but man ...

The visible world is but man turned inside out that he may be revealed to himself.

Henry James 312 quotes

Don't pass it by - the immedi...

Don't pass it by - the immediate, the real, the ours, the yours, the novelist's that it waits for.

Henry James 312 quotes

God's creature is one. He mak...

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 312 quotes

Until you try, you don't know...

Until you try, you don't know what you can't do.

Henry James 312 quotes

Sorrow comes in great waves.....

Sorrow comes in great waves...but rolls over us, and though it may almost smother us, it leaves us. And we know that if it is strong, we are stronger, inasmuch as it passes and we remain.

Henry James 312 quotes

Don't try so much to form you...

Don't try so much to form your character - it's like trying to pull open a tight, tender young rose. Live as you like best and your character will take care of itself.

Henry James 312 quotes

I would give all I possess to...

I would give all I possess to get out of myself; but somehow, at the end, I find myself so vastly more interesting than nine tenths of the people I meet.

Henry James 312 quotes

True happiness, we are told, ...

True happiness, we are told, consists in getting out of one's self; but the point is not only to get out - you must stay out; and to stay out you must have some absorbing errand.

Henry James 312 quotes

...he had long decided that a...

...he had long decided that abundant laughter should be the embellishment of the remainder of his days.

Henry James 312 quotes

To take what there is in life...

To take what there is in life and use it, without waiting forever in vain for the preconceived, to dig deep into the actual and get something out of that; this, doubtless, is the right way to live.

Henry James 312 quotes

Criticism talks a good deal o...

Criticism talks a good deal of nonsense, but even its nonsense is a useful force. It keeps the question of art before the world, insists upon its importance.

Henry James 312 quotes

Her imagination was by habit ...

Her imagination was by habit ridiculously active; when the door was not open it jumped out the window.

Henry James 312 quotes

Don’t underestimate the value...

Don’t underestimate the value of irony—it is extremely valuable.
