Fall if you will, but rise you must.
James Joyce

Too excited to be genuinely happy
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?
James Joyce

White wine is like electricity. Red wine looks and tastes like a liquified beefsteak.
James Joyce

All human history moves towards one great goal
James Joyce
Image
When the soul of a man is born in this country there are nets flown at it to hold it back from flight.
James Joyce
Image
It seems to me you do not care what banality a man expresses so long as he expresses it in Irish.
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.
James Joyce
Image
For myself, I always write about Dublin, because if I can get to the heart of Dublin I can get to the heart of all the cities of the world. In the particular is contained the universal.
James Joyce

All things are inconstant except the faith in the soul, which changes all things and fills their inconstancy with light.
James Joyce
