H. G. Wells
Henry James quote: "I have in my own fashion learned the lesson that life is..."
I have in my own fashion learned the lesson that life is effort, unremittingly repeated. Henry James
What is it, what nameless, inscrutable, unearthly thing is it; what cozening, hidden lord and master, and cruel, remorseless emperor commands me; that against all natural loving and longings, I so keep pushing, and crowding, and jamming myself on all the time; recklessly making me ready to do what in my own proper, natural heart, I durst not so much as dare?
