More quotes by James Joyce
Life is the great teacher.
James Joyce
A certain pride, a certain awe, withheld him from offering to God even one prayer at night, though he knew it was in God's power to take away his life while he slept and hurl his soul hellward ere he could beg for mercy.
James Joyce
Welcome, O life! I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race.
James Joyce
She would follow, her dream of love, the dictates of her heart that told her he was her all in all, the only man in all the world for her for love was the master guide. Come what might she would be wild, untrammelled, free.
James Joyce
Shut your eyes and see.
James Joyce
We were always loyal to lost causes...Success for us is the death of the intellect and of the imagination. ~ Professor MacHugh
James Joyce
For the years, he felt, had not quenched his soul, or hers.
James Joyce
When I makes tea I makes tea, as old mother Grogan said. And when I makes water I makes water.
James Joyce
A man's errors are his portals of discovery.
James Joyce
There is not past, no future everything flows in an eternal present.
James Joyce
Human society is the embodiment of changeless laws which the whimsicalities and circumstances of men and women involve and overwrap. The realm of literature is the realm of these accidental manners and humours--a spacious realm and the true literary artist concerns himself mainly with them.
James Joyce
To discover the mode of life or of art whereby my spirit could express itself in unfettered freedom.
James Joyce
Wipe your glosses with what you know.
James Joyce
Love (understood as the desire of good for another) is in fact so unnatural a phenomenon that it can scarcely repeat itself the soul being unable to become virgin again and not having energy enough to cast itself out again into the ocean of another s soul.
James Joyce
If the Irish programme did not insist on the Irish language I suppose I could call myself a nationalist. As it is, I am content torecognize myself an exile: and, prophetically, a repudiated one.
James Joyce
I am quite content to go down to posterity as a scissors and paste man for that seems to me a harsh but not unjust description
James Joyce
Deal with him, Hemingway!
James Joyce
When I die Dublin will be written on my heart.
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
Does nobody understand?
James Joyce
