Image
Thought is the thought of thought.
James Joyce
Image
Beauty, the splendour of truth, is a gracious presence when the imagination contemplates intensely the truth of its own being or the visible world, and the spirit which proceeds out of truth and beauty is the holy spirit of joy. These are realities and these alone give and sustain life.
James Joyce
Image
I'll tickle his catastrophe.
James Joyce

James Joyce

Love me. Love my umbrella.
James Joyce
Image
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
Image
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
Image
This race and this country and this life produced me, he said. I shall express myself as I am.
James Joyce
Image
Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. A yellow dressinggown, ungirdled, was sustained gently behind him by the mild morning air. He held the bowl aloft and intoned: ----Introibo ad altare Dei.
James Joyce
Image
Your battles inspired me - not the obvious material battles but those that were fought and won behind your forehead.
James Joyce
Image
A woman loses a charm with every pin she takes out.
James Joyce

Ask no questions and you'll hear no lies.
