Famous quotes containing the words james and/or simpson:

    “When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”
    —William James (1842–1910)

    “The man who married Magdalene
    Had not forgiven her.
    God might pardon every sin . . .
    Love is no pardoner.”
    —Louis Simpson (b. 1923)
