James Pemberton Fell

Famous quotes containing the words james and/or fell:

    Since belief is measured by action, he who forbids us to believe religion to be true, necessarily also forbids us to act as we should if we did believe it to be true.
    —William James (1842–1910)

    I gave him the lead gift in the twilight. What fell was relaxed,
    Owl-downy, soft feminine feathers; but what
    Soared: the fierce rush: the night-herons by the flooded river cried
    fear at its rising
    Before it was quite unsheathed from reality.
    Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
