Henry James Quotes

I'm Not In My First Youth - I Can Do What I Choose - I Belong Quite To The Independent Class. I've Neither Father Nor Mother; I'm Poor And Of A Serious Disposition; I'm Not Pretty. I Therefore Am Not Bound To Be Timid And Conventional; Indeed I Can't Afford Such Luxuries. Besides, I Try To Judge Things For Myself; To Judge Wrong, I Think, Is More Honourable Than Not To Judge At All. I Don't Wish To Be A Mere Sheep In The Flock; I Wish To Choose My Fate And Know Something Of Human Affairs Beyond What Other People Think It Compatible With Propriety To Tell Me.
