Henry James

Henry James, OM ((1843-04-15)15 April 1843 – 28 February 1916(1916-02-28)) was an American writer who spent most of his writing career in Britain. He is regarded as one of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism. He was the son of Henry James, Sr. and the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James.

He is best known for a number of novels showing Americans encountering Europe and Europeans. His method of writing from a character's point of view allowed him to explore issues related to consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting. His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue and unreliable narrators brought a new depth to narrative fiction.

James contributed significantly to literary criticism, particularly in his insistence that writers be allowed the greatest possible freedom in presenting their view of the world. James claimed that a text must first and foremost be realistic and contain a representation of life that is recognisable to its readers. Good novels, to James, show life in action and are, most importantly, interesting.

Famous quotes by Henry James:

"Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind."

"Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue."

"The only obligation to which in advance we may hold a novel, without incurring the accusation of being arbitrary, is that it be interesting."

"One might enumerate the items of high civilization, as it exists in other countries, which are absent from the texture of American life, until it should become a wonder to know what was left."

"People talk about the conscience, but it seems to me one must just bring it up to a certain point and leave it there. You can let your conscience alone if you're nice to the second housemaid."

"Though there are some disagreeable things in Venice there is nothing so disagreeable as the visitors."

"In art economy is always beauty."

"Deep experience is never peaceful."

"However British you may be, I am more British still."

"The right time is any time that one is still so lucky as to have."

"Ideas are, in truth, force."

"If I were to live my life over again, I would be an American. I would steep myself in America, I would know no other land."

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

"Under certain circumstances there are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

"Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language."

"We work in the dark - we do what we can - we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art."

"It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance... and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process."

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

"The only reason for the existence of a novel is that it does attempt to represent life."
