A part of a quote

I published a new quote that I just read in a book: "Reading Lolita in Tehran" by Azar Nafisi. It is not her quote, it's Henry James s. There is something about it that I like and wanted to write it straight away. I didn't publish the whole quote as the first part didn't "do it to me"... maybe it will some day but for now I left it out. As I know I will forget how it was written and I will probably pass on the book, here's the full quote so I could get back to it whenever I want and see if anything changed, from my perspective of course...

" We work in the dark - we do what we can - we give what we have.
Our doubt is our passion, and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art."
Henry James
