James Joyce
He was unheeded, happy, and near to the wild heart of life
James Joyce
She respected her husband in the same way as she respected the General Post Office, as something large, secure and fixed: and though she knew the small number of his talents she appreciated his abstract value as a male.
James Joyce
Mr. Duffy lived a short distance from his body.
James Joyce
She would follow, her dream of love, the dictates of her heart that told her he was her all in all, the only man in all the world for her for love was the master guide. Come what might she would be wild, untrammelled, free.
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

James Joyce
Absence, the highest form of presence.
James Joyce
Jesus was a bachelor and never lived with a woman. Surely living with a woman is one of the most difficult things a man has to do, and he never did it.
James Joyce
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
O, dread and dire word. Eternity! What mind of man can understand it?
James Joyce
Our civilization, bequeathed to us by fierce adventurers, eaters of meat and hunters, is so full of hurry and combat, so busy about many things which perhaps are of no importance, that it cannot but see something feeble in a civilization which smiles as it refuses to make the battlefield the test of excellence.
James Joyce
It seems to me you do not care what banality a man expresses so long as he expresses it in Irish.
James Joyce
To discover the mode of life or of art whereby my spirit could express itself in unfettered freedom.
James Joyce
I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.
James Joyce
I shall write a book some day about the appropriateness of names. Geoffrey Chaucer has a ribald ring, as is proper and correct, and Alexander Pope was inevitably Alexander Pope. Colley Cibber was a silly little man without much elegance and Shelley was very Percy and very Bysshe.
James Joyce
He thought that he was sick in his heart if you could be sick in that place.
James Joyce
