Henry James Quotes

[ ... ] Under The Guise Of Caring Only For Intrinsic Values Osmond Lived Exclusively For The World. Far From Being Its Master As He Pretended To Be, He Was Its Very Humble Servant, And The Degree Of Its Attention Was His Only Measure Of Success. He Lived With His Eye On It From Morning Till Night, And The World Was So Stupid It Never Suspected The Trick. Everything He Did Was Pose - Pose So Subtly Considered That If One Were Not On The Lookout One Mistook It For Impulse. Ralph Had Never Met A Man Who Lived So Much In The Land Of Consideration.
