Famous quotes containing the words kenneth stephen, james and/or kenneth:

    I was singing at the time,
    Just as prettily as he!
    James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)

    If we remembered everything, we should on most occasions be as ill off as if we remembered nothing. It would take us as long to recall a space of time as it took the original time to elapse, and we should never get ahead with our thinking. All recollected times undergo, accordingly, what M. Ribot calls foreshortening; and this foreshortening is due to the omission of an enormous number of facts which filled them.
    —William James (1842–1910)

    Quite unacquainted with the ABC
    Than write such hopeless rubbish as thy worst.
    —James Kenneth Stephen (1859–1892)
