More quotes by James Joyce
You made me confess the fears that I have. But I will tell you also what I do not fear. I do not fear to be alone or to be spurned for another or to leave whatever I have to leave. And I am not afraid to make a mistake, even a great mistake, a lifelong mistake and perhaps as long as eternity too.
James Joyce

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
Desire's wind blasts the thorntree but after it becomes from a bramblebush to be a rose upon the rood of time.
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
You cannot eat your cake and have it.
James Joyce
[...] a darkness shining in brightness which brightness could not comprehend.

I care not if I live but a day and a night, so long as my deeds live after me.
James Joyce
