More quotes by James Joyce
Every life is in many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love. But always meeting ourselves.
James Joyce
Does nobody understand?
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
Your battles inspired me - not the obvious material battles but those that were fought and won behind your forehead.
James Joyce
Phall if you but will, rise you must: and none so soon either shall the pharce for the nunce come to a setdown secular phoenish.
James Joyce
Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity and my eyes burned with anguish and anger.
James Joyce
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
He drew forth a phrase from his treasure and spoke it softly to himself: A day of dappled seaborne clouds.
James Joyce
Life is the great teacher.
James Joyce
We are all born in the same way but we all die in different ways.
James Joyce
O cold ! O shivery ! It was your ambrosial beauty. Forget, forgive. Kismet. Let me off this once.
James Joyce
[Robinson Crusoe] is the true prototype of the British colonist. The whole Anglo-Saxon spirit is in Crusoe: the manly independence, the unconscious cruelty, the persistence, the slow yet efficient intelligence, the sexual apathy, the calculating taciturnity.
James Joyce
The movements which work revolutions in the world are born out of the dreams and visions in a peasant's heart on the hillside.
James Joyce
The demand that I make of my reader is that he should devote his whole Life to reading my works.
James Joyce
As you are now so once were we.
James Joyce
When one reads these strange pages of one long gone one feels that one is at one with one who once.
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
His heart danced upon her movements like a cork upon a tide. He heard what her eyes said to him from beneath their cowl and knew that in some dim past, whether in life or revery, he had heard their tale before.
James Joyce
His eyes were dimmed with tears and, looking humbly up to heaven, he wept for the innocence he had lost.
James Joyce
Fall if you will, but rise you must.
James Joyce
