Famous quotes containing the words james, anthony and/or murphy:

    To be ‘conscious’ means not simply to be, but to be reported, known, to have awareness of one’s being added to that being.
    —William James (1842–1910)

    There is great fear expressed on all sides lest this war shall be made a war for the negro. I am willing that it shall be. It is a war to found an empire on the negro in slavery, and shame on us if we do not make it a war to establish the negro in freedom—against whom the whole nation, North and South, East and West, in one mighty conspiracy, has combined from the beginning.
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    If I were in the unenviable position of having to study my work my points of departure would be the “Naught is more real ...” and the “Ubi nihil vales ...” both already in Murphy and neither very rational.
    Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
