More From Henry James

- "I think I don’t regret a single ‘excess’ of my responsive youth – I only regret, in my chilled age, certain occasions and possibilities I didn’t embrace."
- "In art economy is always beauty."

- "In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than just ideals to be valued – they may be essential to survival."― Noam Chomsky
