Famous quotes containing the words james and/or chambers:

    “That reality is ‘independent’ means that there is something in every experience that escapes our arbitrary control. If it be a sensible experience it coerces our attention; if a sequence, we cannot invert it; if we compare two terms we can come to only one result. There is a push, an urgency, within our very experience, against which we are on the whole powerless, and which drives us in a direction that is the destiny of our belief.”
    —William James (1842–1910)

    “The price on the wanted
    poster was a-going down, outlaw alias copped my stance
    and moody greenhorns were making me dance; while my mouth’s
    shooting iron got its chambers jammed.”
    —Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
