Famous quotes containing the words james b and/or james:

    Yesterday morning had gone to bed very early, and had done it once: thirteen in all. Was really affectionate to her.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)

    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)
