More quotes by James Joyce
History, Stephen said, is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.
James Joyce
What incensed him the most was the blatant jokes of the ones that passed it all off as a jest, pretending to understand everything and in reality not knowing their own minds.
James Joyce
Winds of May, that dance on the sea, Dancing a ring-around in glee From furrow to furrow, while overhead The foam flies up to be garlanded, In silvery arches spanning the air, Saw you my true love anywhere? Welladay! Welladay! For the winds of May! Love is unhappy when love is away!
James Joyce
The sacred pint alone can unbind the tongue.
James Joyce
People could put up with being bitten by a wolf but what properly riled them was a bite from a sheep.
James Joyce
All Moanday, Tearday, Wailsday, Thumpsday, Frightday, Shatterday.
James Joyce
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen.
James Joyce
People trample over flowers, yet only to embrace a cactus.
James Joyce
There's many a true word spoken in jest.
James Joyce
By an epiphany he meant a sudden spiritual manifestation, whether in the vulgarity of speech or of gesture or memorable phrase of the mind itself. He believed it was for the man of letters to record these epiphanies with extreme care (saving them for later use, that is), seeing that they themselves are the most delicate and evanescent of moments.
James Joyce
Does nobody understand?
James Joyce
He passes, struck by the stare of truculent Wellington but in the convex mirror grin unstruck the bonham eyes and fatchuck cheekchops of Jollypoldy the rixdix doldy.
James Joyce
Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity and my eyes burned with anguish and anger.
James Joyce
Love loves to love love.
James Joyce
A dim antagonism gathered force within him and darkened his mind as a cloud against her disloyalty: and when it passed, cloudlike, leaving his mind serene and dutiful towards her again, he was made aware dimly and without regret of a first noiseless sundering of their lives.
James Joyce
When a man is born...there are nets flung at it to hold it back from flight. You talk to me of nationality, language, religion. I shall try to fly by those nets.
James Joyce
Wipe your glosses with what you know.
James Joyce
...rapid motion through space elates one.
James Joyce
I desire to press in my arms the loveliness which has not yet come into the world.
James Joyce
[Robinson Crusoe] is the true prototype of the British colonist. The whole Anglo-Saxon spirit is in Crusoe: the manly independence, the unconscious cruelty, the persistence, the slow yet efficient intelligence, the sexual apathy, the calculating taciturnity.
