James Joyce

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
Image
O, dread and dire word. Eternity! What mind of man can understand it?
James Joyce
Image
Lord, heap miseries upon us yet entwine our arts with laughters low.
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
History is that nightmare from which there is no awakening.

Fall if you will, but rise you must.
James Joyce
Image
All Moanday, Tearday, Wailsday, Thumpsday, Frightday, Shatterday.
James Joyce
Image

James Joyce
Image
Hold to the now, the here, through which all future plunges to the past.
James Joyce
Image
There is not past, no future everything flows in an eternal present.
