Famous quotes containing the word henry:

    “I have been to see Henry James, and like him very much. It was a great pleasure to meet him. It makes humanity seem more erect and respectable. I never was more kindly and faithfully catechised. It made me respect myself more to be thought worthy of such wise questions.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
