You were ground in the very mill of the conventional!" ~ The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James "Don't mind anything any one tells you about any one else. Judge everyone and everything for yourself." ~ The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James To read between the lines was easier than to follow the text. ~ The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James The real offense, as she ultimately perceived, was her having a mind of her own at all.

These others in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred are women." ~ Washington Square by Henry James
