Art without life is a poor affair.

Henry James 312 quotes

The advantage, the luxury, as ...

The advantage, the luxury, as well as the torment and responsibility of the novelist, is that there is no limit to what he may attempt as an executant - no limit to his possible experiments, efforts, discoveries, successes.

Henry James 312 quotes

It is difficult to speak adequ...

It is difficult to speak adequately or justly of London. It is not a pleasant place; it is not agreeable, or cheerful, or easy, or exempt from reproach. It is only magnificent.

Henry James 312 quotes

London doesn't love the latent...

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 312 quotes

To believe in a child is to believe in the Future.

Henry James 312 quotes

When you forget to eat, you know you're alive.

Henry James 312 quotes

Every governmental institution...

Every governmental institution has been a standing testimony to the harmonic destiny of society, a standing proof that the life of man is destined for peace and amity, instead of disorder and contention.

Henry James 312 quotes

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

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

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

If you haven't had your life what have you had?

Henry James 312 quotes

No, noЂ'there are depths, depths! The more I go over it, the more I see in it, and the more I see in it, the more I fear. I don't know what I don't seeЂ'what I don't fear!

An Englishman's never so natural as when he's holding his tongue.

Henry James 312 quotes

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

Henry James 312 quotes

It is indeed immensely picturesque. I can fancy sitting all a summer's day watching its shadows shorten and lengthen again, and drawing a delicious contrast between the world's duration and the feeble span of individual experience. There is something in Stonehenge almost reassuring; and if you are disposed to feel that life is rather a superficial matter, and that we soon get to the bottom of things, the immemorial gray pillars may serve to remind you of the enormous background of time.

Henry James 312 quotes

People can be in general prett...

People can be in general pretty well trusted, of course--with the clock of their freedom ticking as loud as it seems to do here--to keep an eye on the fleeting hour.

Henry James 312 quotes

Be generous, be delicate, and ...

Be generous, be delicate, and always pursue the prize.

Henry James 312 quotes

It was the way the autumn day ...

It was the way the autumn day looked into the high windows as it waned; the way the red light, breaking at the close from under a low sombre sky, reached out in a long shaft and played over old wainscots, old tapestry, old gold, old colour.

Henry James 312 quotes

And remember this, that if you...

And remember this, that if you've been hated, you've also been loved.

Excellence does not require perfection.
