It is a symbol of Irish art. The cracked looking-glass of a servant.
James Joyce
Image
Gentle lady, do not sing Sad songs about the end of love Lay aside sadness and sing How love that passes is enough. Sing about the long deep sleep Of lovers that are dead, and how In the grave all love shall sleep: Love is aweary now.
James Joyce
Image
The studious silence of the library ... Thought is the thought of thought. Tranquil brightness.
James Joyce
Image
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
Image
When I heard the word ''stream'' uttered with such a revolting primness, what I think of is urine and not the contemporary novel. And besides, it isn't new, it is far from the dernier cri. Shakespeare used it continually, much too much in my opinion, and there's Tristam Shandy, not to mention the Agamemnon.

One of the things I could never get accustomed to in my youth was the difference I found between life and literature.
James Joyce
Image
Our souls, shamewounded by our sins, cling to us yet more, a woman to her lover clinging, the more the more. She trusts me, her hand gentle, the longlashed eyes. Now where the blue hell am I bringing her beyond the veil? Into the ineluctable modality of the ineluctable visuality. She, she, she. What she?

Every jackass going the roads thinks he has ideas.

When I die Dublin will be written on my heart.

The supreme question about a work of art is out of how deep a life does it spring.
James Joyce
Image
No pen, no ink, no table, no room, no time, no quiet, no inclination.
James Joyce
Image
But my body was like a harp and her words and gestures were like fingers running upon the wires.
James Joyce
Image
I desire to press in my arms the loveliness which has not yet come into the world.
James Joyce
Image
A way a lone a last a loved a long the riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.
James Joyce
Image
We are all born in the same way but we all die in different ways.
James Joyce
Image
You made me confess the fears that I have. But I will tell you also what I do not fear. I do not fear to be alone or to be spurned for another or to leave whatever I have to leave. And I am not afraid to make a mistake, even a great mistake, a lifelong mistake and perhaps as long as eternity too.

[A writer is] a priest of eternal imagination, transmuting the daily bread of experience into the radiant body of everliving life.
