Additional quotes by Henry James

And her deepest enjoyment was to feel the continuity between the movements of her own soul and the agitations of the world.

No, no — there are depths, depths! The more I go over it, the more I see in it, and the more I see in it, the more I fear. I don’t know what I don’t see — what I don’t fear!

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. - Henry James
