More quotes by 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
And Jesus was a Jew too. Your god. He was a Jew like me. And so was his father.
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
Old father, old artificer, stand me now and ever in good stead.
James Joyce
The studious silence of the library ... Thought is the thought of thought. Tranquil brightness.
James Joyce
I am, a stride at a time. A very short space of time through very short time of space.
James Joyce
What was after the universe? Nothing. But was there anything round the universe to show where it stopped before the nothing place began?
James Joyce
Shut your eyes and see.
James Joyce
Thanks be to God we lived so long and did so much good.
James Joyce
A woman loses a charm with every pin she takes out.
James Joyce
My heart is quite calm now. I will go back.
James Joyce
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
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
British Beatitudes! ... Beer, beef, business, bibles, bulldogs, battleships, buggery and bishops.
James Joyce
Does nobody understand?
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
Your battles inspired me - not the obvious material battles but those that were fought and won behind your forehead.
James Joyce
O, dread and dire word. Eternity! What mind of man can understand it?
James Joyce
You behold in me, Stephen said with grim displeasure, a horrible example of free thought.
James Joyce
And if he had judged her harshly? If her life were a simple rosary of hours, her life simple and strange as a bird's life, gay in the morning, restless all day, tired at sundown? Her heart simple and willful as a bird's heart?
James Joyce
