You cannot eat your cake and have it.
James Joyce
Image
He lived at a little distance from his body, regarding his own acts with doubtful side-glances. He had an odd autobiographical habit which led him to compose in his mind from time to time a short sentence about himself containing a subject in the third person and a verb in the past tense.

History is that nightmare from which there is no awakening.

If Ireland is to become a new Ireland she must first become European.
