definition of accretive operator

A relation T with domain and range in a Hilbert space is said to be accretive if the transformation $ (T − \lambda)/(T + \bar \lambda\ ) $ with domain and range in the Hilbert space is contractive for some, and hence every, complex number $\lambda$ in the right half–plane.

How does some $\lambda$ imply for all $\lambda$? De branges states this in his "proof" of RH (infact uses it quite extensively). Also can anyone suggest references for such operators.
