More quotes by James Joyce
But my body was like a harp and her words and gestures were like fingers running upon the wires.
James Joyce
Frequent and violent temptations were a proof that the citadel of the soul had not fallen and that the devil raged to make it fall.
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
To discover the mode of life or of art whereby my spirit could express itself in unfettered freedom.
James Joyce

He believed it was for the man of letters to record these epiphanies with extreme care (saving them for later use, that is), seeing that they themselves are the most delicate and evanescent of moments.
James Joyce
All things are inconstant except the faith in the soul, which changes all things and fills their inconstancy with light.
James Joyce
White pudding and eggs and sausages and cups of tea! How simple and beautiful was life after all!
James Joyce
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
Can't bring back time. Like holding water in your hand.
James Joyce
Too excited to be genuinely happy
James Joyce
Welcome, O life! I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race.
James Joyce
Life is the great teacher.
James Joyce
Good puzzle would be cross Dublin without passing a pub.
James Joyce
