James Joyce
Image
What? Corpus. Body. Corpse. Good idea the Latin. Stupifies them first. Hospice for the dying. They don't seem to chew it only swallow it down.
James Joyce
Image
Deal with him, Hemingway!
James Joyce
Image
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
Image
Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.
James Joyce
Image
I care not if I live but a day and a night, so long as my deeds live after me.
James Joyce
Image
Pity is the feeling which arrests the mind in the presence of whatesoever is grave and constant in human sufferings and unites it with the human sufferer.
James Joyce
Image
Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunghill of a world a mother's love is not.
James Joyce
