Famous quotes containing the words james and/or anderton:

    Whatever question there may be of his talent, there can be none, I think, of his genius. It was a slim and crooked one, but it was eminently personal. He was unperfect, unfinished, inartistic; he was worse than provincial—he was parochial.
    —Henry James (1843–1916)

    Everywhere I go I see increasing evidence of people swirling about in a human cesspit of their own making.
    —James Anderton (b. 1932)
