Henry Life Lesson Quotes "Remember that you are a human being with the divine gift
of articulate speech: that your native language is the language of Shakespeare
and Milton and the Bible; and don't sit there crooning like a bilious
pigeon." "You have no idea how frightfully interesting it is to take a human being and change her into a quite different human being by creating a new speech for her. Its filling up the deepest gulf that separates class from class and soul from soul."
"The great secret, Eliza, is not having bad manners or good manners or any other particular sort of manners, but having the same manner for all human souls: in short, behaving as if you were in Heaven, where there are no third-class carriages, and one soul is as good as another." |
