Famous quotes containing the words james and/or miller:
“If we remembered everything, we should on most occasions be as ill off as if we remembered nothing. It would take us as long to recall a space of time as it took the original time to elapse, and we should never get ahead with our thinking. All recollected times undergo, accordingly, what M. Ribot calls foreshortening; and this foreshortening is due to the omission of an enormous number of facts which filled them.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“Honest criticism means nothing: what one wants is unrestrained passion, fire for fire.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
