More quotes by James Joyce
Shut your eyes and see.
James Joyce

James Joyce
Can't bring back time. Like holding water in your hand.
James Joyce
I shall write a book some day about the appropriateness of names. Geoffrey Chaucer has a ribald ring, as is proper and correct, and Alexander Pope was inevitably Alexander Pope. Colley Cibber was a silly little man without much elegance and Shelley was very Percy and very Bysshe.
James Joyce

James Joyce

James Joyce
There's many a true word spoken in jest.
James Joyce
This race and this country and this life produced me, he said. I shall express myself as I am.
James Joyce
[A writer is] a priest of eternal imagination, transmuting the daily bread of experience into the radiant body of everliving life.
James Joyce
Nations have their ego, just like individuals.
James Joyce
Quotation marks quotato marks! Bah!
James Joyce
Satan, really, is the romantic youth of Jesus re-appearing for a moment.
James Joyce
And then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will yes.
James Joyce
White pudding and eggs and sausages and cups of tea! How simple and beautiful was life after all!
James Joyce
Sentimentality is unearned emotion.
James Joyce
