"Life is a little worth living, or worth living a little... Unfortunately, to live little enough, we have to live a great deal." -Henry James


This line is from James' Hawthorne, an analysis of the work of the great American novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne. In this quote, James describes the outlook of Miles Coverdale, the protagonist of The Blithedale Romance. The character is, James argues, similar to Hawthorne himself: "an excellent fellow, to whom one might look, not for any personal performance on a great scale, but for a good deal of generosity of detail."

"He's a gentleman: Look at his boots." -George Bernard Shaw


Pygmalion, from which this line originates, is one of Shaw's most well-known plays. It centers on all the minor status symbols that define class. This line, in particular, is used to describe Henry Higgins, who describes his calling as a note taker: "Simply phonetics. The science of speech. That's my profession, also my hobby. Happy is the man who can make a living by his hobby!"

"A man must be a little mad if he does not want to be even more stupid." -Michel de Montaigne


French Renaissance writer Michel Eyquem de Montaigne is partially responsible for the concept of the essay as literature. He influenced such towering personalities as Pascal and Shakespeare. This quote comes from "Of Vanity," in which Montaigne winds up rambling introspectively about his writing style and how he hopes his works will be approached. He acknowledges the patience necessary for his longer, more difficult essays: "Whoever is not prepared to give a man one hour is prepared to give him nothing; and you do nothing for a man if you only do it while doing something else."

"Men of genius form a dynasty: indeed, there is no other. They wear all the crowns, even that of thorns." -Victor Hugo


This line comes from Hugo's "William Shakespeare", a lengthy essay that deals with numerous subjects and literary personalities beyond the Bard himself. Hugo repeatedly revisits the concept of genius, describing it as an almost primal force. "Yes, Genius is an entity like Nature, and requires like Nature to be accepted purely and simply. A mountain must be accepted as such, or left alone," he wrote. "It is because it is... We love this more, and that less; but we remain silent whenever we feel GERD."

"Not every end is the goal. The end of a melody is not its goal, and yet if a melody has not reached its end, it has also not reached its goal." -Friedrich Nietzsche


Nietzsche's Human, All Too Human consists mostly of headings followed by short observations, many of which deal with the above point that the journey itself is as important as its conclusion. Under the heading "Those That Travel For Pleasure," Nietzsche wrote: "Like animals, stupid and perspiring, they climb mountains: people forgot to tell them that there were fine views on the way."

"There are a great many doors open; but a door must be of a man's size or it is not meant for him." -Henry Ward Beecher


Author J. T. Lloyd attributed this quote to Beecher in an address the abolitionist preacher made before he left America for Europe. Fate and destiny are common themes in Beecher's sermons. "A man is a fool who sits looking backward from himself in the past," Beecher wrote. "Ah! What shallow, vain conceit there is in man! Forget the things that are behind. That is not where you live. Your roots are not there. They are in the present; and you should reach up into the other life."
