More quotes by James Joyce
You behold in me, Stephen said with grim displeasure, a horrible example of free thought.
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
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
British Beatitudes! ... Beer, beef, business, bibles, bulldogs, battleships, buggery and bishops.
James Joyce
His heart danced upon her movements like a cork upon a tide. He heard what her eyes said to him from beneath their cowl and knew that in some dim past, whether in life or revery, he had heard their tale before.
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
If Ireland is to become a new Ireland she must first become European.
James Joyce
You forget that the kingdom of heaven suffers violence: and the kingdom of heaven is like a woman.
James Joyce
O cold ! O shivery ! It was your ambrosial beauty. Forget, forgive. Kismet. Let me off this once.
James Joyce
It is a symbol of Irish art. The cracked looking-glass of a servant.
James Joyce
White pudding and eggs and sausages and cups of tea! How simple and beautiful was life after all!
James Joyce
We were always loyal to lost causes...Success for us is the death of the intellect and of the imagination. ~ Professor MacHugh
James Joyce
and yet her name was like a summons to all my foolish blood.
James Joyce
And when all was said and done the lies a fellow told about himself couldn't probably hold a proverbial candle to the wholesale whoppers other fellows coined about him.
James Joyce
When one reads these strange pages of one long gone one feels that one is at one with one who once.
James Joyce
Each lost soul will be a hell unto itself, the boundless fire raging in its very vitals.
James Joyce
I could call my wandering thoughts together. I had hardly any patience with the serious work of life which, now that it stood between me and my desire, seemed to me child's play, ugly monotonous child's play.
James Joyce
Lord, heap miseries upon us yet entwine our arts with laughters low.
James Joyce
You cannot eat your cake and have it.
James Joyce
Love me. Love my umbrella.
James Joyce
