James Joyce
People trample over flowers, yet only to embrace a cactus.
James Joyce
Every life is in many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love. But always meeting ourselves.
James Joyce
You forget that the kingdom of heaven suffers violence: and the kingdom of heaven is like a woman.
James Joyce
O thanks be to the great God I got somebody to give me what I badly wanted to put some heart up into me youve no chances at all inthis place like you used long ago I wish somebody would write me a loveletter.
James Joyce
An improper art aims at exciting in the way of comedy the feeling of desire but the feeling which is proper to comic art is the feeling of joy.
James Joyce
O, dread and dire word. Eternity! What mind of man can understand it?
