James Joyce
Redheaded women buck like goats.
James Joyce
Love me. Love my umbrella.
James Joyce
The supreme question about a work of art is out of how deep a life does it spring.
James Joyce
I hear the ruin of all space, shattered glass and toppled masonry, and time one livid final flame.
James Joyce
The sacred pint alone can unbind the tongue.
James Joyce
All human history moves towards one great goal
James Joyce
Why is it that words like these seem dull and cold? Is it because there is no word tender enough to be your name?
James Joyce
People trample over flowers, yet only to embrace a cactus.
James Joyce
No one who has any self-respect stays in Ireland, but flees afar as though from a country that has undergone the visitation of an angered Jove.
James Joyce
