Famous quotes containing the words james and/or son:
“... if we take the universe of ‘fitting,’ countless coats ‘fit’ backs, and countless boots ‘fit’ feet, on which they are not practically fitted; countless stones ‘fit’ gaps in walls into which no one seeks to fit them actually. In the same way countless opinions ‘fit’ realities, and countless truths are valid, tho no thinker ever thinks them.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“As the son straddled
the husband’s back
when he fell at her feet,
the housewife,
though burnt by certain anger,
began to laugh.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
