Famous quotes containing the words james, edward and/or arnold:

    Mankind’s common instinct for reality ... has always held the world to be essentially a theatre for heroism. In heroism, we feel, life’s supreme mystery is hidden. We tolerate no one who has no capacity whatever for it in any direction. On the other hand, no matter what a man’s frailties otherwise may be, if he be willing to risk death, and still more if he suffer it heroically, in the service he has chosen, the fact consecrates him forever.
    —William James (1842–1910)

    I’m saying I’m an insect who dreamed he was a man and he loved it but the dream is over and the insect is awake.
    —Charles Edward Pogue, U.S. screenwriter, and David Cronenberg. Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum)

    Charge once more, then, and be dumb!
    Let the victors, when they come,
    When the forts of folly fall,
    Find thy body by the wall!
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
