Famous quotes containing the words james, joseph and/or walsh:

    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)

    Not many people know that.
    Michael Caine [Maurice Joseph Micklewhite] (b. 1933)

    That a lover forsaken
    A new love may get;
    But a neck, when once broken,
    Can never be set:
    And, that he could die
    Whenever he would;
    But, that he could live
    But as long as he could;
    —William Walsh (1663–1708)
