Richard Beck recommended a book to me William James: In the Maelstrom of American Modernism. Life is busy and it has taken me 6 weeks to read the first 300 pages, what with vacation and 10 hour work days and all.
Here's some good stuff. I googled William James and got some of these quotations from the Quotations Page:
A great many people think they are thinking when they are really rearranging their prejudices.
As a rule we disbelieve all the facts and theories for which we have no use.
Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.
Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.
