James Joyce
Image
The supreme question about a work of art is out of how deep a life does it spring.
James Joyce
Image
Secrets, silent, stony sit in the dark palaces of both our hearts: secrets weary of their tyranny: tyrants willing to be dethroned.
James Joyce
Image

James Joyce
Image
My heart is quite calm now. I will go back.
James Joyce
Image
His eyes were dimmed with tears and, looking humbly up to heaven, he wept for the innocence he had lost.
James Joyce
Image
His heart danced upon her movement like a cork upon a tide.
James Joyce
Image
They lived and laughed and loved and left.
James Joyce
Image
There's many a true word spoken in jest.
James Joyce
Image
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
Image
Very gratefully, with grateful appreciation, with sincere appreciative gratitude, in appreciatively grateful sincerity of regret, he declined.
James Joyce
Image
The sacred pint alone can unbind the tongue.
James Joyce
Image
Sentimentality is unearned emotion.
James Joyce
