Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunghill of a world a mother's love is not.
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
Beware the horns of a bull, the heels of the horse, and the smile of an Englishman.
James Joyce
Image
To discover the mode of life or of art whereby my spirit could express itself in unfettered freedom.
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.

Stephen jerked his thumb towards the window, saying: — That is God. Hooray! Ay! Whrrwhee! — What? Mr Deasy asked. — A shout in the street, Stephen answered, shrugging his shoulders.
James Joyce
Image
Satan, really, is the romantic youth of Jesus re-appearing for a moment.
James Joyce
Image
No one who has any self-respect stays in Ireland, but flees afar as though from a country that has undergone the visitation of an angered Jove.
James Joyce
Image
I did not know whether I would ever speak to her or not or, if I spoke to her, how I could tell her of my confused adoration. But my body was like a harp and her words and gestures were like fingers running upon the wires.
James Joyce
Image
Redheaded women buck like goats.
James Joyce
Image
The artist, like the God of the creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails.
James Joyce
Image
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
I am proud to be an emotionalist.
