Henry James Quotes



1. I've always been interested in people, but I've never liked them

5.Deep experience is never peaceful.

6.The superiority of one man's opinion over another's is never so great as when the opinion is about a woman.

7. No themes are so human as those that reflect for us, out of the confusion of life, the close connection of bliss and bale, of the things that help with the things that hurt, so dangling before us forever that bright hard medal, of so strange an alloy, one face of which is somebody's right and ease and the other somebody's pain and wrong.

8. Don't mind anything anyone tells you about anyone else. Judge everyone and everything for yourself.

9. A man who pretends to understand women is bad manners. For him to really to understand them is bad morals.

10.
