Famous quotes containing the words henry and/or irving:
“The besetting sin of able men is impatience of contradiction and of criticism. Even those who do their best to resist the temptation, yield to it almost unconsciously and become the tools of toadies and flatterers. Authorities, disciples, and schools are the curse of science and do more to interfere with the work of the scientific spirit than all its enemies.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (182595)
“Sigmund Freud was a novelist with a scientific background. He just didnt know he was a novelist. All those damn psychiatrists after him, they didnt know he was a novelist either.”
—John Irving (b. 1942)
